If the car is ineffect an advertising "vehicle" (haha), then the Camaro will get more attention than most of the others mentioned. Especially if you do that burnt orange color.
I presume you don't want to blend in with the crowd.

right now the Camaro sticks out so much!
i dont really like the car, but cant help but somewhat gawk at it.
its really an odd looking, yet beautiful looking car.
it’d be a good choice. and being how big it is. thats a lot of room to advertise.

STi...I'm biased towards the Evo X but sounds like you'll need the trunk space which the X loses to the STi. Also greater exterior space for vinyl wraps to promote your business.

We are still looking for a car. We just went through an exhausting money raising exercise and complete redesign of the site. The car hunt is back on.

What's you're normal clientele (as in what are they buying)? Do you fairly frequently escort them around or is it more an over the phone/email type deal?
Basically, get something similar to what your clientele is looking at purchasing. If you're negotiating prices on Hyundai Elantras (just what is on your site) and show up in a Lexus GS it could very well make people uncomfortable (as in, I can't be getting that good a deal if they're skimming enough off to buy a Lexus, not necessarily rational but it could occur). On the other hand if you're frequently dealing in high end cars and show up in a EVO that could be even worse.
Buick Lacrosse? Fits the budget without being to pretentious or too proletarian. The Flex also sounds good. The only thing with domestics is in some parts of California people have a a very negative reaction to them... One of the newer much improved models (Flex, Lacrosse, Fusion) would be okay but just getting an "old Detroit" car like an Impala.
For visibility definitely get something with a new body style that attracts attention. The Flex is very visible, the Fusion blends in too much so I wouldn't get that, same with the G8. As much as I like the styling on it, it's not exactly a car that jumps out at you.
