I didn't mean image on the car alone. Like tigger said, showing success makes a big difference around here. One of my biggest obstacles at this point is people not knowing if I will still be here in another 4 months, but that will just take time.

Having success is being able to afford a new luxury car where the MSRP doesn't exceed 1/3 of your annual salary, in some cases picking an auto that makes your peer's wife say "I like your car".

Faking success is spending money on a car you couldn't afford when new with hopes it will impress those with minimal success.

If you are in retail insurance, then
1. Midlevel Buick
2. Camry or Avalon
3. Chevy Malibu or Impalla
4. Ford Taurus

If you need AWD, get an AWD Taurus.
If you work handle commercial insurance, then Buick.

Conservative car...conservative styling. Cleanliness, 4doors

The fact is that you are still a kid. You need something that says "Company car issued to low level sales guy"
The car should not say something about you. It should say something about the company you represent.
Since it is insurance NO LUXURY BRANDS UNTIL YOU LOOK THE PART (meaning you look like you have been in the industry for 20 years aka. You are in your 40's)
Safe, conservative, low risk.
