Taiwan 't one

"I Want One!" Geddit?

No?

Oh well, never mind, I don't really want one.I couldn't buy one even if I did want one anyway - it's going on sale in its home nation - Taiwan next year - I don't think it's even available in Australia, home of this article about the said car. It's called a Luxgen5 - the Company name is Luxgen so presumably its full title is a Luxgen Luxgen5.

After the Malaysians, Koreans and Chinese, do we now have yet another Eastern nation suddenly producing cars good enough to eat into Western markets? Possibly. The article does show a modern-looking vehicle with a luxury interior and, thanks to a tie-in with HTC (maker of some very smart Smartphones) some clever infotainment tech.

With a choice of 1.8 and 2 litre turbo petrol engines, it all looks like a very good package.

The article states that, "Luxgen is the only car company in Taiwan that wholly develops its own vehicles." OK, but it does look very familiar - even down to the wheels:
