Never gonna be pleased to hear that, but sadly, it’s been confirmed that Luxgen has recently stopped the production of the S5 GT225, the once most powerful locally built sport sedan. However, it’s somehow unsurprising, since it’s never been a smart decision to release a sport sedan that most normal people wouldn’t desire while the brand’s still going through its tough time (they even closed down their business in mainland China earlier in November due to bankruptcy), and of course, while crossovers and SUVs keep ruling the car industry.
#RALLY NIPPON 2013 in TAIWAN─日本古董車環臺感恩之旅 #RALLY NIPPON 2013 in臺灣について 謝謝臺湾！（ありがとう臺灣！）
2011年3月11日東日本大震災發生後，臺灣的人民自動自發、慷慨解囊，以最快速並且領先各國的鉅額捐款協助賑災。日本人民由衷地感謝這份善意與恩情，並且認為應該好好地以實際的行動感謝臺灣，當面向臺灣這塊土地與臺灣人民說聲謝謝。
因此，過去僅在日本舉行的RALLY NIPPON古董車活動，特別跨海來臺灣舉行。主辦單位與日本古董車車主都希望能以這些在臺灣很不容易看到，並且受到車迷歡迎的古董車作為媒介，傳達「謝謝臺灣！」的感謝之意。藉由踏踏實實地環島一周，親身體驗臺灣的每一吋土地的溫度和人情，並親口謝謝所有善良又可敬的臺灣人民。

On the day of departure my Taiwanese friend surprised me by calling this special Luxgen V7 taxi. The Luxgen V7 is essentially an M7 with a raised roof and mostly meant for taxi purposes. Here it is parked in front of my old university in Taipei (NCCU).
Place: Dacun, Changhua
The complete line-up of Luxgen, the local carmaker of Taiwan in two pictures! Well, that is apart from the Luxgen V7, a taxi version of the M7 with with high-roof. Luxgen started producing cars in 2009 with the introduction of the 7 MPV, renamed M7 after a 2014 redesign.
The large 7 SUV (renamed U7 after after a 2014 redesign) followed in 2010, the 5 Sedan was launched in 2012 and restyled and renamed to S5 in 2015, whereas the most and only truly successful U6 hit the market in 2013. Apart from Taiwan, the cars are also locally produced in mainland China by the Dongfeng Yulon joint venture.

S3: 596
S5: 173
M7 / V7: 307 / 51
U6: 937
U7: 88
Recently a new small sedan was launched: the S3. My Taiwanese friend did a short test drive with me as his co-driver. I think it doesn't come close to the S5 in the looks department, but at least it looks rather distinctive with some interesting design cues. The interior is made of good materials, apart from the centre console, with cheap plastics surrounding the modern large screen. The CVT transmission gives you the option to switch 'gears' like a manual gearbox, which is quite interesting. Furthermore, the car offers plenty of space for a small sedan. However, my friend wasn't impressed by NVH levels (lack of refinement).
