I never noticed that they looked like e34s, but i always thought they looked really good. Better than most other cars, so i guess it makes sense.

Lincoln's original marketing campaign made it obvious that it was making an attempt (a pretty sad one) to compete with European sports sedans. So its really not surprising that they attempted to lift some of the design ideas from some of their more creative rivals. The overall shape of the car and the rear end especially have a hint of e34 in them.Originally Posted by bbig119
If you want a car that i think blatantly steals from BMW and the E34 especially, look at the late 90's Mitsubishi Diamante:
Nice pair of round headlight clusters on each side
And the back end is obvious
have a picture of an E34 hidden in a the bottom of a draw to refer to when creating a mid size sedan.
What's really funny is all the new Japanese autos coming out with "Bangle Butts" on them
Vee ave vays of dealing vid your kind...........
There is a resemblance....

I always lined it up more with an E38/39

It was always a "poor mans 5er"
They used to market that the LS sport model would outhandle a BMW 540i. Except they compeded against a regular model 540i with 15" all seasons against the LS with 17" summer tires and complete sport package.
Now the LS is becoming the ghetto fab car that is taking over the Maximas place in urban areas.
Never having seen one in the flesh, so going only from the pics, I would say it looks more like an E39.

My mom's decorator has one just like this, but white and with a dark tint.
