This video has interesting content for auto observers, but it was most probably unintended by the folks who created and posted the clip on Facebook. It shows ex-PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed flying a drone and surrounded by drone enthusiasts, possibly at the Perdana Leadership Foundation building in Putrajaya.
What’s in it for us? Behind the commotion sits a white sedan that’s pretty large in size, with a rear end that’s fully covered. The taped-up behind is a sign that it’s a car that’s being developed, with design that is not finalised. Parked in the “most VIP” spot in the building, could the mystery car be the new Proton Perdana brought there for, or used by, the Proton chairman? Speculation of course, but think about it.
While the current Proton Perdana is nothing but a previous-gen Honda Accord with Proton badges for government official use, the second phase of development involves more work on a car that you and me can buy. DRB-Hicom group MD Tan Sri Khamil Jamil told us some time back that the public-use Perdana will have a new interior and exterior that will set it apart from the donor Accord.
The second-phase Perdana is scheduled for a 2016 release, and we’re expecting it to launch with Honda powertrains. Or will a new Proton-Petronas engine be ready by then? Proton acquired all of Petronas’ engine technologies and associated patents for RM63 million in 2012, and we were told last year that direct injection and turbo direct injection are among the acquired tech, and that they “can be applied to all engines.”
Current Proton Perdana – for government use only
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
cheapest and safest D-segment in town…
why not~!
Yes even it not yet review Proton still going to be the safest car on earth.
Don’t even envious on this car haters!
P2 still the worst car on earth…
Let the bashing party begins!!!!!!
It’s his new Porsche Panamera. Bash apa? Tun has good taste in cars…
Proton are improving the previous Accord market issue such as premature brake wear and headlight dimming. Gentle reminder to Proton designer, please don’t carryover the defective Takata airbag design.
Yeah, I wish to whack the fella that made decision to buy Accordana.
They should have bought a K5 or Sonata. That way, Tun will sell it off within a year and publish his kimchi experience in chedet.cc
The Honda Accord is way better than the Optima or the Sonata coz at least we can have a 2.4 litre engine. The Sonata and the Optima can only have 2.0 litre, jackass.
Looks like a Jaguar XJ car lah.
Can u trust proton? No I don’t think so. Kena tipu once by Gen 2. At least, never a proton for me.
So YOU must be NAP, the guy who always comments on paultan.org. never a proton aka NAP!
at the rate of car sales figures, malaysian no longer need to choose proton, even with higher prices, foreign cars enjoy much better sales
Finally Accordana arrived at Tun DrM house (hopefully it will not be another CamPro engine and “punch” cvt).
Tun the Cronies saviour.
If it is campro & Punch cvt then it is not Accordana.

wong i thinnk u need to try beat proton suprima with ur powerfull vios lah ;)
Vios is only 1.5L and very crampy inside. Back passengers always don’t feel syiok.
Teringin rasanya nk bertemu dgn vios super power ni.
Vios??…
So LAME!!..
Similar to MYVI..
waste of time..
no new proton
that’s his jaguar
nothing new.
That is Tun’s Lexus LS460.
What’s the fuss about?
If Tun gets the LS460 instead of S500 or 750i, I really respect this man.
He knows that Lexus is the ultimate in Luxury
Bullshit. That is the accordana. Its way better than Lexus.
lexus luxury? hahaha…lawak antarabangsa
low class ler lexus ke toyota ke….
Hopefully they not using the current Honda Accord platform. Current owner will jump sea.
Tun, you should have got the Sonata or K5 instead.
Bet that you will also sell it off within a year
K5 and sonata still better than the saga you bought for your son.

This is better than my Beemer 3 series. I’m thinking to trade-in my beemer to this “wonderful” car.
The 3 series? Its only an ordinary man car in Germany.
wrong. Most of them drive small Smarts, Fords, Opels, Renaults, Fiats and old Merc/BMW. Even a new Audi A1 is considered as expensive car. Most of them think that cars are just a tool and even the rich takes public transport despite having a car loool.

must be suzuki kickassi
Nonsense. No substance to design new car. Just like the country. All screwed up!

Malunya, dare not to show because it is copy cat.
Suzuki Kizashi lettew~~
How much ‘research grant’ Proton is asking from Government (tax payers’ money) this time around??
200million?
End up just rebadging somebody else’s car.
It could be suzuki kizashi
Accordana facelift ?!?
seriously, who would wan 2 buy a Perdana? ;)
If it’s good, better than the accord plus cheaper, then why not? Just because it carries Proton badge doesn’t mean it’s bad. Proton is really stepping up in the game based on the current Iriz. Let us wait and see what Proton has to offer this time.
A copycat accord that is better than the real accord? Dreaming kah? Some more, they are copying a model which is a few generation older. Why not name it Proton OldGen?
hater gonna hate , how many people died in soft body perodua (kancil , alza , myvi , viva?)
R3 Race.Rosak. Repair that proton
Let’s wait for the review. Don’t condemn for the sake of making noises. Constructive feedback would be a better approach. Most road accidents and death aren’t caused by soft body of a car or the lack of modern electronics. They’re caused by the drivers’ attitude.
Ask ourselves these;
Is there a need to tailgate?
Signal lights, they’re to indicate your next action. They’re not festival lights, on once a year or so. There’re many more “couldn’t care less” attitude that causes accidents. Just stop creating and giving excuses and change for the better.
If wanna rebadge, better put ESC in this car with extra airbags. Last time Honda Malaysia never put ESC in this gen Accord. D-segment car no ESC = lousy
got la. 2.4 got 4 airbags+vsa. 3.5 got 6 airbags+vsa
lol dafuq? it does have VSC..VSA in honda’s terms
A segment Iriz with ESC = lousy sales.
Iriz is B segment laa…idiot
It is possible to build all techs in Proton. But the price will be higher.
Proton should serve the people of Malaysia first. Affordable car that every family should own. The fact now proton in other countries is much much much cheaper than the country of its own label, Malaysian buying proton using more money. Nevertheless that is how the Proton and Malaysia earn income for own product. Get the volume not the margin. Get the quality before quantity.

Might sell well…
if price below 75k.
Wish list…2.0 turbo with 200+ hp,
0 to 100 kmh in under 8 secs..
6 airbags+,abs,ebd,traction control..
leather seats.
5 yr warranty and free service…For most manufacturers,reasonable specs,but for proton,i doubt it.
I would take it.
This is interesting, I’m seeing a lot more positive support for P1 than bashing… Then again if the car is good I wouldn’t mind getting it, after a year later when all the complaints has been heard…
There’s a lot of sohais always used past model experience to judge new launch model quality.
if they can beat my vios and myvi quality than i will consider it..
Hummmm harap2 murah boleh beli…gst
