I was thinking an Audi A6 Quattro. I can get one with unlimited mileage for $570 a week... vs. $400 for a Camry, I think the Audi will be worth it over 2000 miles.

3, maybe 4 (gf).
parents wanted to take our lexus truck but I said it would probably not be worth putting 2000 miles on the car.

oh yeah it body rolls like no one's business, nice plush car though, you can sit in the third row, fold down the 2nd, and its a lot of room and you can put your legs up
My sister's GX470 clocks in at an avg of ~17mpg, mixed city highway, I don't think you can squeeze more than 21 or 22 out of the GX470, full time 4wd, probably about the same as a lx470/landcruiser...

GX470 has adjustable air suspension and our sport package GX has the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System which is just a fancy name for electronic swaybars that stiffen in cornering and disconnect offroad for more suspension travel...
