The 2005 Lincoln LS is a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Both engines on the 2005 LS are improved with the additions of variable intake camshaft timing and advanced drive-by-wire electronic throttle control. The handling remains as precise and fine-tuned as last year's upgraded model.

Though lacking a little in terms of prestige and refinement, the Lincoln LS is still a respectable choice for a used luxury sedan with sporting tendencies. Its pricing is lower than many competing models, and maintenance costs should ... be slightly lower than those of some European cars, but don't expect the LS to be as trouble-free as its competitors from Japan.

Update (August 2005): Ford Motor Co. announced that production of the Lincoln LS would end with the 2006 model year. The LS never struck a chord with consumers, who saw it as neither sporty enough nor luxurious enough to compete with BMWs or other premium brands, according to Karl Brauer, editor-in-chief of Edmunds.com. "There was always a question of what exactly the car was supposed to be. It never seemed to have a real strong identity one way or the other."

The exterior of the updated LS includes a signature Lincoln grille with a full-perimeter chrome surround, a simpler bumper fascia design and new lamps. High-intensity-discharge headlamps are available. All LS models have dual chrome exhaust tips.
