FactJeremy Clarkson, known for criticising American cars, rated the first LHS by global standards right up there with the best.
Introduced in May 1993 for the 1994 model year, the Chrysler LHS was the division's top model and the most expensive of the LH-platform cars, built at Brampton, Ontario, until 1997. It shared the LH cars' 113-inch wheelbase and was set apart from the New Yorker by leather bucket seats and standard features such as alloy wheels. It had a 3.5 litre V6 with a four-speed automatic.

Rivals

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
