The comment that the S-Type was revised in 2003 and 2005 belongs into that article - the LS was revised to for 2003, but this is not the place to mention it. Thanx.

DEW (or DEW98) is Ford Motor Company's midsize rear wheel drive automobile platform. The platform was developed by both Ford and Jaguar engineers, and debuted in the Lincoln LS sedan. A less-expensive variant, DEW Lite, was to be used for the 2005 Ford Mustang, but that car now uses the Mazda-derived Ford D2C platform.
