Summary & Specs
reviewed by
You're not likely to confuse the LHS with a luxury sport sedan from Europe. But
there's no pejorative in that. Chrysler's top-line sedan helps redefine a market
segment that clearly was due for some much-needed change. If the LHS is the first in a
new era of American luxury cars, Detroit has a solid future.
The LHS is a vehicle that sets out its own rules and, with only a few exceptions,
lives up to them with style and grace. And its price, thousands below cars like the
Cadillac Seville, Lincoln Continental and even the Oldsmobile Aurora, makes it look
even better.
