What would you say to the Lincoln designers if you knew that truly monitored this forum for feedback? My first two requests would be at least 375 horsepower and a panoramic sunroof. I really want at least a 1/4 of my center roof section to slide back. Sh** would be hot.
If the LS was still made today.....
- Thread starter marcredd
- Start date
A dynamite-assisted alternator removal system.
1) Coyote motor from the GT (or GT500?)

3) RWD with IRS using a freaking 8.8" standard gear and diff
4) Does the Nurburgring in under 8-minutes

This.
Haven't heard that, wish I had it. I was referring to the 6 disk CD changer that fails.

My father has the THX(I think it's THX, whatever the top option is) system in his MKZ and it is pretty incredible for a stock system.

I agree with 04LS ! I will take the BOSS 302, 5.0L, with manual. Add blower! Rouch Stage 3 suspension! That will keep my wife out of my turbo Volvo coupe!

If ifs and buts were cocks and sluts, then we would be in a gangbang. This thread is like going on a picnic and not getting a handjob.....POINTLESS.
Thanks for your invaluable feedback.
Edit: I have been a member since 07 and have accumulated 877 posts. You have been a member since 2010 and are nearly 1000 posts ahead of me. So, I wonder who pehaps has more "pointless" posts?

Just reading this post gave me terminal AIDS.
Not as pointless as half of the mark threads.
I think these models would be killer. Think of the factory parts you could use to upgrade the older (Gen 1 and Gen 2 LS's) with these "Gen 3" parts!
Many have already freshened up their LS's to make them modern, but factory upgrades such as:
- bi-xenon projector lamps
- LED lighting inside and out
- "My Touch" audio system
- Factory remote starting
- Push button ignition
- Factory steering wheel shifting paddles
The LSE or LS-R should also have a Alcatrera and carbon fiber interior trim options/Recaro seating option (like Cadillac CTS-V).
And since we are dreaming....the LSE should have the option of 4 wheel drive (for handling, not off road driving)
A LS-L option might also be OK. More rear seat leg room. Maybe model it after an Audi A8-L.

Yea, but he's right. As long as Lincoln sees Buick buyers as their target market they won't produce an LS successor..... EVER!! Look at their direction. Nothing more than gizmos and gadgets. I don't care if it's AWD and 800hp. The engines all sit sideways and they are nose heavy exercises in oversteer. There won't be a manual due to complete lack of sales. When I bought my 1st LS in 2000 (I DID want the manual!) my dealer told me the manual trans cars sat on the lot for over 90 days. That's an eternity in car sales. Face it boys, the vast majority of Americans don't want to shift themselves anymore.
Anyway, I wouldn't look to Lincoln for any type of performance luxury car anytime soon. Most of what you guys want can be had in a Mustang anyway.

Yeah. Great ideas. Never a reality. So my next car will be German
I agree, im ok with driving the Ls for some time to come you cant beat the deal at the end of the day, v8,leather,rwd, etc.
what else can you buy other than an Ls thats affordable to the general public that have these features?
