Proton Perdana

The first generation Proton Perdana is a four-door mid-size family saloon manufactured by Malaysian automobile producer Proton which launched on 26 January 1995. It is a badge engineered seventh generation Mitsubishi Eterna, developed as the result of a collaboration between Proton and Mitsubishi Motors. About 80,000 first generation Proton Perdanas were sold between 1995 and 2013. Perdana is the Malay word for Prime. The Perdana proved expensive to run and had reliability issues; the Malaysian government opted to replace it with the Honda Accord for federal and deputy ministers. The Accord ended up being built by Proton as the second generation Perdana.
