Was it? I've always been under the impression that it was a "cheapened" W124! I'll take your word for it. Makes sense though; the LH was a north-south platform, and was based on (in design, not metal) Renault's large R25 platform. The LH was a highly underrated platform and, aside from the Audi A6, was probably the world's best large FWD platform, far superior to GM's sloppy C-/H-/G- models.
The Chrysler LHS had to be the last penny postcard left on Earth — dynamically competent for a large front-driver, solidly-built, kitted to hell and back, attractively styled, with the most cavernous interior this side of a '76 Lincoln Continental... a mountain of car at a molehill price!
Correct me if I'm wrong but, wasn't Lutz responsible for the LH's?
