The 1995 Proton Perdana Was Built to Last

Revving things up with headlines from the auto world: we get a quick peek under the hood of Proton's first electric car, the eMas 7, as it opens for booking, then find out about commercial vehicle maker JAC Motors' T9 BEV pickup truck rolling onto Malaysian roads. On the global front, Richard, Ali, and Daniel get into the news of Volkswagen shutting down three factories in Germany and discover how Chinese automaker Roewe has set a Guinness World Record with the Roewe D7 DMH.

Then, they ask: What's with all the huge number of EVs in the classifieds right now?! Daniel unpacks what could be behind the concerning phenomenon.

And finally, the used car guide returns, this time with a 1995 Proton Perdana! Daniel gushes about the brand new auto in his life, a 1995 2.0i 5-speed manual Proton Perdana SEi, and how the Malaysian classic still holds its own.
