Just a suggestion: I measured my bike in all different directions. Then I went to the car show. I live in Pasadena, so I went to the big one in Los Angeles. It was quite the site, a woman with a measuring tape climbing in and out of station wagons, SUV's and sedans. Yes I even climbed in a few trunks. I also had the specs and measurements of car racks, both roof racks and sedan racks. I looked at the most expensive to the least expensive. Because it is a car show, you don't have the sales person following you around. And you can pull the phamplets and get other vital information without much contact frome the dealers.

My favorites: FJ Cruiser, 4 Runner, the Element.

In the end I bought a Lexus GX mid size SUV, it fits 2 bikes in the back, has a barn door. I never have to take a tire off my bike just slides right in, I only have to fold up one seat.

Good Luck
