Jeff,
Curious that you were unimpressed with the Audi's quality especially the interior since in all the reviews that I've been reading they are generally regarded as having one of the best of (if not the) of the bunch.
The 4Runner, assuming that's the beater you're talking about, is certainly a nice ride. The newer ones are ok but I simply hate parts of the interior. I don't know who the designers are working for Toyota but they've done some simply daft things in the last few years with center consoles and radios. Just hideous.
