From 1999 to 2006 Lincoln produced this tragedy. I noticed that the way the body narrows at the glasshouse is cribbed from the Volkswagen Passat (B5 and B5.5,Typ 3B/3BG, 1996–2005)

Wikipedia says this, and doesn´t mention how horrible it is. Look at the rear deck. No, actually, don´t. It´s sad.

"The Lincoln LS is a mid-size, rear wheel drive sedan from Lincoln. For its production run from 1999 until 2006, it was based on the Ford DEW98 platform, which was shared with the Jaguar S-Type and Ford Thunderbird. LS versions were originally to be called LS6 and LS8[1][2] depending on engine choice, but those designations were replaced with "LS V6" and "LS V8" after Toyota's Lexus division became concerned about the potential for naming confusion with its Lexus LS.[3] Along with the related Jaguar S-Type, it is the first entry-level luxury car owned by a Ford brand since the Merkur Scorpio and XR4Ti ended production in 1989."
