Alheych 6th Gear December 11, 2013 Share December 11, 2013 After 18 long years, there finally is a new Proton Perdana to replace the 1995 model based on the Galant. This time they are using a 8th gen Honda Accord platform: http://paultan.org/2013/12/11/new-proton-perdana-accord/ The initial production is only for government use. When the production model comes out, it'll be a good chance for Malaysians to own an Accord at a discount. Doubt it'll ever come to Singapore though, come here become same price as real Accord. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alheych 6th Gear December 11, 2013 Author Share December 11, 2013 So, proton wanted to overtake gm in rebadge king title?... That's why I always say perodua is a better coy than proton.... Proton going to become OEM already... the Inspira is a Lancer, Perdana is an Accord and the upcoming city car is a Honda Brio. Perodua has always been a OEM. All its models have Daihatsu equivalents. Considering that Daihatsu is now a Toyota subsidiary, there's no harm in it. Malaysians get to buy a Toyota Passo at Perodua price, why not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic December 12, 2013 Share December 12, 2013 I just hope it will be Accord quality and Proton price and not Proton quality and Accord price. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Supersonic December 12, 2013 Share December 12, 2013 (edited) Actually as long as price is right, its ok. CMI image, but have Honda engine, why not.? Driver's skill at large has not increased in tandem with the increase in performance of the cars. Eg, I rather instaed of 120hp/150nm....125/155,.....130/160..... I rather Bnb at least stays 120/150 but......focus on improvements towards FC, maintenance intervals....simplifying manufacturing & control/ lower cost. Just like what Honda is doing for their BnB bikes even for larger capacity models. Impovements in hp/torque is largely academic & sales pitching for most drivers. But in SG for cars, then harder to accept as bleed through the nose. Must start to nit pick. .....principle of the matter....
