Proton Perdana replacement to be based on Honda Accord ?

 After Proton and Honda signed a collaboration agreement few months back, details have been released that Honda Accord will be the platform for Proton Perdana replacement model! Although based on the Accord, cosmetic changes would be inevitable for the Perdana Replacement Model (PRM). Hopefully, the changes will be less subtle, bringing larger difference visually compared to Accord's design and not another Inspira case.

Proton, however, did not mention which Honda Accord's platform will be used for the PRM. Will it be the outgoing model which is still selling in Malaysia? Or the newest Accord launched overseas?

 Current or the newest generation Honda Accord?

Engine wise, Proton's most powerful engine to date, the 1.6 litre CFE turbocharged engine would be out of the question, considering the immense size of the D-segment Accord. Proton might be using a 2.0 litre engine bought from Petronas last year to power the PRM.
