1999 Chrysler LHS Review Summary & Specs
Base Sedan
Elegance and panache at any speed.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
Chrysler's 1999 LHS represents a big improvement over its predecessor. An elegant interior, solid acceleration performance and excellent handling complement eye-catching styling. With its roomy back seats and generous legroom, it can haul four people in comfortable, luxurious surroundings. Supremely smooth and stable at highway speeds, we could spend many miles in one of these, riding behind that big egg-crate grille.
