IS the next evolution of the shocker, just look at the power train, there are a few slight variations to it and of course its re-bodied and has the frame relocated. plus, for those who don't know, the Luxe was born in Smart Parts' factory, so I would believe it's safe to say that the Luxe was supposed to be Smart Parts new incarnation of the Shocker, but they sold the design to DLX just before they went under.
