Dear reader, As in previous years, this year will be ushered in with the Brussels Motor Show, the annual pinnacle of the Belgian automotive sector. Brussels Expo will once again be packed with new models, attractive stands and great side activities.

To help you get a feel for what to expect, this issue of Intentions includes a helpful overview of the most interesting fleet models exhibited by the various manufacturers. Be sure to visit our website for the attractive promotions we're offering on a number of models. This year's Motor Show will be extra exciting for LeasePlan. Our first – and also very successful – Private Lease promotion will be repeated. If after visiting the Motor Show your appetite for cars hasn't been satiated, you must go along to the ‘Italian Car Passion’ exhibition at Autoworld in Brussels, which runs until the end of this month.

You have a chance of winning a pair of tickets elsewhere in this issue. But if you'd prefer to spread your wings a little further than our capital city, make sure you check out what our Escape column has in store for you.

And finally, on behalf of LeasePlan, I'd like to wish you the very best for the coming year, both in your personal life and professionally. This will also be the last time I'll have the opportunity to use this foreword to wish you a wonderful year. The time has come to pass on the baton. But not before I've had the chance of thanking you. Because, thanks to you, our customer, I'm able to leave behind a company that is well-structured at all levels and permeated with well-qualified people. LeasePlan is ready to enter its next phase of growth with the certainty that the house of cards won't collapse because of the departure of one poor soul. The seeds have been sown and I think they can now be harvested.

A heartfelt goodbye!

At the beginning of the year, all eyes turn to the Brussels Motor Show. And once again this year, the doors of the Brussels Expo will be wide open from 14 to 24 January. The spotlights will be trained on the latest models presented by car manufacturers. And for the fleet market there will also be something for everyone.

Their extensive menu offers every Flemish classic: from oven-baked chicory or vol-au-vent to braised beef and beef tongue in Madeira sauce. The set lunch menu at € 13.50 per person is nothing to turn your nose up at either. And the décor comes free! Because, as the name of the business suggests, the walls are adorned with traditional taloorkes, or plates, just like those your grandmother used to serve up food on. Nostalgia in abundance!

20 Intentions Private Lease

Leasing for individual consumers at Media Markt Following on from its first campaign in 2015, LeasePlan is ushering in the New Year with a new Private Lease promotion. And once again LeasePlan is utilising the services of Media Markt as its distribution channel. This time not one but two Toyota models will be in the spotlight: the Aygo and the Auris.

Reason enough to repeat the promotional campaign during the annual pinnacle of the Belgian automotive sector, the Brussels Motor Show. Individual consumers have the opportunity to take out a lease contract through LeasePlan, which will be present at every Media Markt in Belgium until 19 January 2016. The offer will continue to be available on LeasePlan's website until 24 January. Unlike the first Private Lease promotion, which offered only a single model of car, customers can now choose from two models from the Japanese manufacturer Toyota. Anyone who didn't quite find what they were looking for in the Corsa can now indulge themselves in the cars that are now on offer.

For customers who fancy a compact and sprightly city car, LeasePlan is offering the Toyota Aygo. From 179 euros a month, you could be the
