More on the Proton Perdana Replacement Model, this time a rendering by Theophilus Chin offering a front-half view of what the new sedan might shape up like. With the word being that Proton will be using the Honda Accord chassis as a base to develop the new Perdana Replacement Model, Theo has come up with a reskin based on the outgoing Accord.
Yesterday, it was reported that the automaker filed for a trademark for the name ‘Proton Suprima’ with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) back in January this year, leading to suggest that this might be the name for the new Perdana replacement model? As we mentioned yesterday, the name certainly sounds apt – the name Suprima is derived from the word supreme, befitting of a flagship car.

Ohgodwhy. Pls stop this theo. You are giving bad impression to proton. Ppl might think it’s just a mere rebaddge WITH this photo of an accord with a simple proton badge. I can do that too on Paint!
Hope Proton just rebadged the Accord like how they did with Lancer.. then follow with Civic and CRV
Awesome! Hope it will cause another massive butthurt firestorm and this time around. Honda owners can take their turns to be jackasses by threatening to sue Proton, just like the dumb Lancer owners last time, while the Smarter Ones who Get It can sit back and laugh while booking their Suprima
The old Perdana was a super big failure. Gearbox failing was so common that it was known as the gearbox fail car. Now, Proton, hiding under the skirt and panties of government protectionism and at the expense of the rakyat’s hard earned tax money, has just wasted our money coming out with this potential dropout. The 100 million grants that our government gives to Proton every now so often is our tax payers money, remember that!
Awesome! Hope it will cause another massive butthurt firestorm this time around. Honda owners can take their turns to be jackasses by threatening to sue Proton, just like the dumb Lancer owners last time, while the Smarter Ones who Get It can sit back and laugh while booking their Suprima
Next will be the new Putra TT ‘ Audi TT ‘ or Proton Evoque… never stop copy and always making junk like what P2 did.
And after that typical malaysian’s will rebadge their car with a honda badge again.
And don’t forget TYPE-R. LOL
And also the nismo
At least use the Tuah as a base and move up from there..projector lights and LEDs is way forward. The Accord was a more ‘unker’ design not inspired by the NSX or CRZ design at all..
This car would SHARE THE PLATFORM of the Accord, use Petronas engines. If Proton rebadge the Accord, It will use a Honda engine rather than Petronas’ engine.
A wider Proton Saga
Agree. I felt the same. Proton Saga Senior.
Proton has the track records of messing up the design in their face-lift. Example: Persona 1st version quite nice, then 2nd facelift make it so ugly (especially the grill part). The other example was Waja … trying to copy VW style but ended up half-boiled in the mid!
There is no good side to Proton, they are absolutely rubbish cars. Good on them for scoring a 5-star ANCAP safety rating for the Preve though, just a shame it was about 10 years too late. With the Malaysian government backing the company, I’d have thought they could afford to put higher quality parts in their cars. Apparently not…
Don’t be shy… this is the truth. It’s just that the diehard fan could not accept this…
OMG…pls make sure render the all new accord which not launch in malaysia…The current 1 not nice lah…
Please la dont disgrace the Accord.
Useless junk is junk.Accord,put potong badge,Passat fog lights,inspira rims.Then they call Su-PR-ima.UBAH at 5/5 and u will get the real Accord with lower price.
woohoo.. it is just a rendering…
Oh.. no…. 1st Lancer and now Accord…. hahahaha…
Proton ah proton… sampai bila nak tidor ~
So what’s next…? Honda Accord owners banging their head for Proton helped lowering their original Honda RV…?
Honda accord mix with passat? Really a bad rendering.
So the rendering job is a lazy a those working in proton now? Lol! Teh tarik satu…
I am thinking of selling my Honda Accord before this shit launching into the market.
LOL then don’t buy any car. I wonder if any Volkswagen owner in Europe complains and whines like a brainless little kid about RV whenever Skoda releases a new model.
Hello Since VW own Skoda and skoda is the cheapest in the VW group so VW owners don bother it.
I bet you are. I felt sorry for you.
This is hurting the RV of the model.
Support your originial !!!
we RESPECT YOU !!!
i driving original Mitsubishi ~~~
“Platform sharing” .. Not “rebadging”.. Haish..
Ever seen a Nissan Datsun rebadged as Proton Iswara?
The bad tries to emulate the worst.
Theo’s worst renderings ever! Aiyaaaa, why make proton look so cheap? I was expecting more from a rendering… Even my 7 year old nephew can do a better rendering than this on paint! Come on la, edit at least the headlamps and windows a little, then we’ll have setting interesting to look at
show me the rendering by your nephew…
typical malaysian. ™
Dafaq did I just see?
Seriously? -.- jus cut and paste proton badge and you call that rendering ah? Take your time theo, and at least you will produce presentable work!
I think he is very reluctant to do it but someone asked him to do it.
And when someone pushes you to do it, that is when you take your time and do it or kick that suckers arse! ;)
if proton cannot design it’s own car to replace the Perdana ( which was also a Mitsubishi model ) , why bother to keep it afloat at the expense of the Rakyat?
Do you think anyone would want to buy a proton if any other car make in MY are priced around global car prices. Means not over inflated selling price due to the taxes.
Owwwwhhh he just copied the Proton logo and pasted it on the Accord lol.
Anyhow hopefully this ‘Suprima’ does not look like an Accord and I think it will be based on the old Accord and not the latest generation Accord. I doubt Honda wants to share its latest technology with anyone just yet.
this is not a photoshopped photo, right?
A bit harsh on Theo, lads. He’s just playing with the idea of a Proton Accord. I’m sure the real version will look very different from Honda’s.
OH MY GOD !!! IS LIKE MEGAN FOX BODY WITH WTF FACE !!
With Nicki Minaj face
Zero dislikes!
Salute!!!
haha honda ppl butthurt just for a rendering photo… i expect riots can happen when the real car is launched… hahahaha!
This is by far the worst rendering you done. quit speculating. Its a platform sharing exercise not a rebadging one. But then again it will end up looking horrible with proton designers behind it.
Proton will do better than that!
oo….why not rebadge the honcity to the new 2013 saga & with saga price, sure sell like hot cake & & apanama proton untung oso will sky roket high 999%. jom ubah!!!!
the name “Proton Suprima” quite good, i like it
are you really sure Suprima name is for the Accord rebadge?
i think the name is reserved for the Preve hatch knowing it is the next model coming up.
hmmm… it makes me think.. hmmm
If they really come up with another name for a model with a small tweak, then… we have no choice but to say DRB-Hicom is hopeless and stupid.. The future of Proton will be bleak
suprima got 3.0 liter V6 engine or not? and 6 speed auto?
The name Suprima should never be used for Preve hatch, as it means Mighty. It is for the highest spec D segment Proton. I strongly believe it is Perdana replacement. Well, no need to copy chassis like Inspira, jt platform will do. They can design great looking car..
enough is enough! waste no more rakyat hard earn money.
Folll….DRB is private company not rakyat money…..so think before speak like dap fool…party..puihhhh
Folll.. Go dig up DRB’s history and its related businesses.
Compared to other ‘Folll’ you are the ‘Folll’ that didn’t do homework :D
We like to see your party has more ppl like you. ^_^
DRB is private company under proxy by gov. If not gov will never continue the subsidy. Think mature. Pls dun quote political party as they are fool politician in every parties, not one.
There are more things going on in the background that most of us know. The poor rakyat is subsidising some rich fella and his whole generation so that they can live the lifestyle of the rich and famous while we the rakyat have slog to payback our ridiculously high car prices. This is curse money.
not sure whether the accord will have the proton family look or not…
currently, all the models in proton have different identity looks…saga, persona, preve, inspira…
those who like to blame proton for rebadge lancer, c wat u wan to say tis time…
can’t deny theo is really really good at car design… bro no one hired you yet?
correction bro. He’s only good at stealing bits of other cars and combining. not designing.
Thank god and hope this will happen sooner so it bring balances on resale value between Japs and Korean car..
dont care if proton using any brand of chassis..atleast proton put teh petronas e01e engine
Eager to see the 2.2 liter turbocharged E01e engine paired with a decent Jatco CVT (instead of the crap Punch Motive CVTs) or a robust Aisin transmission.
teh petronas haha.. teh tarik i luv.
Because we want to make money
Thumbs up for the merge, but they should really keep the Perdana name. Perdana sounds more exclusive, big, bold, also, the name is known as the more expensive Proton, and if they are planning for international sales, the unique ‘Perdana’ name would catch eyes even more. Suprima sounds like something that came out from Pizza Hut.
I feel the current Accord isn’t as dynamic as the previous model in terms of handling. The handling is not as responsive as the previous ones. I dunno what you guys think. Sorry Honda lovers it’s just my opinion.
“IF at all” Proton were to produce a car in this platform hope they can improve the handling. Only IF.
The 8th gen Accord platform will be a great foundation for the proposed Proton large car. Proton cars may be a lot of things but their (input from Lotus) ride/handling tuning settings are usually pretty spot on for the intended audience, out of the box, for local conditions.
Dude that’s exactly what I’m expecting. =) Fingers crossed.
true..however the legendary lotus ride & handling can only be felt by the driver. the 3 other passenger also felt it eh? i dont think so..
yes. they can feel less body roll and more safety.
We should appreciate Theo’s work. It set a benchmark and give hints to Proton not to rebadge the accord directly. Otherwise, Proton ends up a rebadged car called Proton Shitprima.
You guys are so ungrateful, this caring gov knows many cannot afford to buy the original brand at least they care to clone it for us using popular brands namely Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Kia, Peugeot now we even have Honda in the joint and bigger names may even join-in later into this big family. Wow!! this is great news for everyone.
Yeah, but if that asshole najis actually brought down the taxes, we Malaysians would not need to look stupid while driving a cloned accord! It’s exactly like buying a clone iPhone or a real one.
I swear Sam Loo is behind this – just so he can continue his usual Toyota/Camry RV vs Accord (et al) diatribe…
chill la wei..i think theo just playing around. most of us knew that theo can do better than this. or else why dont u guys send ur own design.
Proton Pervert, Proton Sperma, it so sad when they announced a new model, malaysia boleh while we all know it just a rebadge..
When want rebadge lamborghini or ferrari?
why all the comments so serious? talking about rebadge lah, platform lah, 5/5 lah, RV lah, “…my kid can do better than that” lah, honda accord owner is a sore loser lah etc. etc. …it just Theo Chin’s imagination
Kesian Accord owners kena Potong kaw kaw!
The flagship Proton code-named Suprima will officially be named WTF.
All proton designer is sleeping? This is the outcome after all??!! Come on..
no, r u sleeping? this is a rendering. enough consuming pil kuda.
Typical result of Malaysian education system (or maybe even SRJK(C) ). You can read but you can’t understand, but you talk loudly although you don’t understand. Bravo.
somebody’s been taking sleeping pills BEYOND the prescribed dosage and having the after-effects of unable to tell the difference between Theo’s and Proton’s (if any) rendering :)
stupid.. it is rendering.. not the real model.. are u drunk..??
ni mamat rendering punya pasal la ni… x pasal2 semua jadi kutuk mengutuk.. udah2 ler dok rendering benda2 yang x confirm.. nanti kang macam2 pulak orang kutuk.. apa daa..
I surely hope this is not the new PRM. Otherwise, my accord jatuh harga
I like this batch of Accord very much, but I don’t like it to be rebadged as Perdana replacement model. Proton, please do not continue with such an idea (of rebadginf). And Theo, would you stop this designing thingy?
looks quite nice tbh.
Reminds me of the infamous subprime loan fiasco that led to the global financial crisis which the us and europe are still grappling with. Suprima sounds a lot lIke subprime and that to me is enough to send negative vibes for any product to bear that name. I just hope that everyone has very short memory.
eyes on me…
IF THE FUTURE PERDANA REPLACEMENT MODEL IS GONNA BE A REBADGED CAR…BE IT FROM ANY OUTGOING MODEL OF ANY BRAND….THEN MY ADVICE TO PROTON IS DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO REPLACE IT….AFTER A LONG ABSENCE OF A NEW MODEL IN THE MARKET IS THIS THE WAY PROTON WANT TO MAKE A COME BACK WITH PERDANA? IT’S SO CALLED PREMIUM MODEL? PLEEEEZZZZ LA!!! I SUPPOSE THE NEW MANAGEMENT KNOWS SHIT ABOUT MAKING GOOD CARS….
My advice to you. Go easy with the pil kuda. If you chose to read on previous post… DRB said the new car using Accord’s platform will not be a re-badged, it will look different.
P/S; Ubah pil kuda to Chill Pill. That shall help with your MINDA.
The slogan will be: “Smart Executives Get It”
Stupid delusional executives only lah kah kah kah
As usual Proton will give excuses:
“Perodua also rebadge like hell, why not us?”
He He He… Let’s put Perodua Camry vs Proton Accord rebadge…wonder which one get higher sales….He He He
How you know its going to be a rebadge? Are you God?
It is fine to rebadge a car m
Perodua normally rebadges models which are not sold here, like passo. In this case, nobody is worse off because. Perodua deserves respect for willing to take risk. Unlike proton, observes and rebadge what is good selling in the market, all current owners of rebadged model are worse off by the impact of not just drop of resale value of the car, but loss of appetite of used car shopper to even look at the original model. This type of car has become like a prostitute!
Malaysia boleh.
Ini pun boleh. Awful idea
Looks like current Honda Accord Model.
Now, we are waiting for Honda Accord 2013 model.
Isn’t this the same generation Accord that some guy placed stickers “My Honda tak guna”?? Is that why Proton is getting it? Good luck proton!
An easy way for Proton to boost their coffers. After the launch, all government’s Perdanas and other executive sedans will be replaced with this car.
sorry theo, very teruk n bad rendering.
honda stream will become proton exora?civic become persona.
New honda accord has rolled out and on the street in many countries. We take the left over at cheap price.
I feel sorry for Theo.
Aiyooo…why everybody so angry…GE fever maybe?…whatever the name will be…how it is going to look….or whatever….cool down…nanti kena stroke lagi susah…tak pasal pasal Theo yg jadi mangsa…pity you la Bro…
Donot succumb to theos ‘s illusion..you all also can dream ..
so much free time ke theo…
This is known as transformation program la..haiyaa…
Off topic. Najib meeting with top management of VW to set up assembly line in Malaysia?
Please see this:

Proton “Anak Sulong Bolehland”
You better close shop as early as you can.
Don’t waste time.
I will dance Harlem Shake nonstop 24hrs at Proton factory if that happen
Wanna bet???
i’d pay for that :)
Supr1ma(Supr 1 Malaysia)…
copy lancer =fail
some more want to copy accord = aircord
shame of proton…….
hope proton share honda’s aircond platform too
Accord’s overall quality is poorer as compare to Camry n Mazda 6. Although I don’t like Toyota car, but I can’t denied that Camry is simply better. However I preferred my UDM.
Why everybody became like Sam Loo’s and the RV’s?
thanks proton for your re-badge program. for those who do not like it. i know..you all have a lot of money to buy the real honda accord or mitsubishi lancer…so please do not bash proton project..this program initially allow the middle class citizen to buy bigger car with affordable price..please look to inspira project..how many people already enjoy the benefit. having quite similar design with good quality car with less RM40k for the price..
Its not a rebadge la brother… aiyaaaa… tidak baca kaa..? its call a “platform sharing”..
he just a kid.. he don’t know anything about car.. rebadge and platform sharing are the same meaning for him.. hahahahaha..
thanks for rebadge..?? u must be perodua supporter..
Dear proton, pls dont keep potong other car makers’ design n paste up ur dumbass badge!
Accord front light n vw passat skirt, damn ugly.
Where the hell those r&d budget spent? Buy chicken farm or lembu farm?
Please lah Proton can you be a little bit original? For God’s sake over 15 years already you are still copying others’ designs? You earn alot enough to hire a few designers already!! Exported Proton cheaper than local Proton, yet this sh*t again.
bro.. ni keje mamat rendering ni.. x pasal2 proton pulak yang kena.. apa daa..
Accord RV can swing both ways if this is the Perdana replacement
What’s the point of this “rendering”? Just to show off your “rendering power”?
Bravo Proton. We support you! please rebadge CRV as well.
Well, it’s about time and rather pretty good decision in the long run considering the reliability of the Accord platform http://www.gizmag.com/the-100-most-reliable-cars-of-the-last-decade-in-order/5657/ also for our G’s plan or excuse (which one you may prefer) of going towards green eco yada2 technologies. Besides the Perdana is way too old now and surely cost a lot to maintain.
Just hope they won’t effin’ changed the official cars after every coming GE though and stick with it for 10-15 years to come. But still, it’s somewhat quite shameless of the G to talk about national pride, being patriotic and stuff all this time, now suddenly this?? Suits the Malay phrase, ”ibarat meludah ke langit, terpercik ke muka sendiri” I must say.
x habis2 mamat ni ngan rendering.. last2 xde apa pun.. huhuhu
What the he**.
It is nothing wrong for proton to re-badge (uhmm, Platform-sharing) with any other car maker.
1. They can design the engine, but cannot design a body? (shame)
2. This is not the way making car price “Cheap”. Reduce the Import tax.
3. Proton have grown up. Govt should stop helping them. (some may say it is a private company, but look back at the history of DRB again pls)
4. Question back to number 1. Insipra use “Mit” engine. Perdana replace use “Honda” engine.
The poor would still need to pay tax and their R&D.
Let not talk about currency exchange. Year back when Wira is selling close to 55K MYR, and my friend in Phillipines can get for 30K MYR.
No respond to this post is required, just a very personal thinking. :) have a great day all. And good luck to proton.
fuk proton government,use accord to put it’s stupid dump logo on it and still think that can cheat ppl feeling….
