Believe it or not, Luxgen is not the name of a lightbulb company, but the name of a carmaker from Taiwan. The company’s name is supposed to be a combination of "Luxury" and "Genius”, though they haven’t really reinvented to wheel.
The company is only three years young, and they’ve just unveiled a new vehicle, the Luxgen 5 Sedan, developed in house and previewed as an EV concept in 2011. This sedan is the first they’ve offed with a 150 hp 1.8-liter petrol, as well as a 2-liter producing 180 hp.

The Chinese like toys in their car above else, and so they’ve fitted the 5 with Think+ and Eagle View, which are a night vision system and 360 degree view. In your face Mercedes S-Class!

Just kidding, but since we’re on the subject, how about a coupe version? Since Luxgen has only build 1 MPV, 1 SUV and 1 wagon, they should consider offering an attractive coupe in the future. This rendering is based on the sedan and uses the same wheelbase. But the doors have been elongated, resulting in a side profile that somewhat resembles the Accord Coupe.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
