After some tense talks with the boss (the old man), he has given me the greenlight for a new company car (2012 WRX). Pushed for an STi but it proved a bridge too far to cross! Now hoping to squeeze into a premium under budget although I dont have a budget perse.

Now the fun part, negotiating with dealers - all keen to move a MY11 and make a deal, but not keen to do a deal on a MY12.
