LS replacement in 2007 info?

[lexdiamondz10304]

I remember reading a article in the net about the replacement of the LS but now I cant find it!! I never finished reading it. It stated that lincoln, code named the project ******? I forgot.. and that it will be introduced in 2007 as a 08 model. Has anyone heard of this? And for those who think the zephyr is replacing the LS you are wrong, the article said this specifically.

as of what i have heard the zephyr is not the replacing the LS. lincoln might be bring back the conti to replace the LS. it is kind of funny how the LS replaced the conti, now it is pay back...lol

 

[lexdiamondz10304]

but the conti kinda looks like the town car... ugh.....

so does the grand marquis....lol

in my eyes the Conti was always a cross breed of the mark and the towncar that's just the way i've always looked at her. Contis are great cars that should be brought back to life. :invasion:

yeah i agree, lincoln should of never had killed the conti. and also the mark!

Ive heard rumors of the LS possibly going to the all wheel drive platform of the ford 500 for the 08 model year and being refined quite a bit but nothing about it being replaced.

This article supports what you've heard. The D3 platform also includes the Freestyle and Montego. Could be front (base) and AWD (premium). The newly developed (Yamaha) V8 displaces 4.4L and is rated at 311 HP in the Volvo...
