Following an earlier announcement that the Proton Perdana Executive and Proton Inspira in the federal government’s official vehicle fleet were to be replaced by the Honda Accord, Malaysiakini now reports that the government has opted instead for the Proton Perdana Replacement Model (speculative rendering by Theophilus Chin shown), which will be based on the Honda Accord (likely the eighth-gen car).
UPDATE: The Honda Accord-based Proton Perdana Replacement Model (PRM) has been spotted on the road, see all the spyshots here.
The KiniTV clip below shows MITI deputy minister and Ledang MP Datuk Hamim Samuri revealing in Parliament that Proton has developed a replacement for its aging Perdana through its technical collaboration with Honda, and that the government would use the vehicle as its official car.
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed reactions to Proton's plan to use the Honda Accord-based model as a replacement for the Perdana fleet, with many criticizing rebadging as unoriginal and questioning the value of such a strategy. Some defend rebadging as a cost-effective and practical solution, highlighting that many automakers do similar practices. There are concerns about Proton’s reliance on rebadging, calling it a sign of lack of innovation and praising local efforts like Inspira and Preve, though skeptics argue Proton still heavily depends on copying. Several comments reflect frustration over government spending and the perceived inefficiency of using taxpayer money for rebadged vehicles, while others highlight that other brands have long histories of rebadging without issues. Overall, the sentiment is largely skeptical, with some advocating for in-house development to boost national pride and automotive independence.
