Poll question: What kind of car should my mom get?

Here's the deal:

It's going to be mainly used for driving around town. Going to work, going to the store, just a few miles through town each way.

However, a couple times a year she'd like to do a road trip of a several hundred miles, drive up to Washington, down to Sacramento or the Bay Area, up to Lassen or the Trinities, over to the Coast, go camping and see the sights. She likes to go to the mountains, which she is surrounded by, but off-roading isn't going to happen. Maintained dirt roads are about as hardcore as it gets. However, getting stuck in the snow is a big pain, and it happens, so AWD would be good.

She also has a big dog, and is thinking about getting another big dog (or 3). This is a critical factor in the decision making process, as the dog needs to ride in a kennel. She also goes camping with more shit than you would ever believe possible.

She wants to be nominally eco-friendly, and get something made in the USA. She also had a Honda before that was much beloved, and she has a Toyota now that she hates, but it's mechanically good and that's a big consideration.
