I'm going to go a completely different direction, since I just got back from a two week, 3400 mile road trip and you mentioned road trip.

3rd gen GM W body -
2004–2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
2005–2009 Buick LaCrosse/Allure
2006–2016 Chevrolet Impala/Impala Limited[4][5]
2006–2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

A Grand Prix or LaCrosse with the 3rd gen 3.8 would be awesome. Don't get a 3.4, if you get a 3.5 get a 2008 up.

The wife has a 2009 Impala with the 3.5, it has almost 160,000 on it, it had 120,000 when we bought it 6 1/2 years ago. I've put tires, brakes and tie rods on it, nothing else but oil changes. I did change the transmission fluid and filter since I don't know if it's ever been done. We averaged 30.7 mpg for the trip, but it kind of sucks in town, around 20. Insurance is dirt cheap too.
