I drive an '06 VW GTI. My bike fits easily in the back without the front wheel and with the back seats down. My road bike was purchased in October so it rides alone. I am pretty sure you could get two back there if you were not concerned about their finish.

Hubby drives an '08 GMC 2500 diesel. It normally gets 17mpg but chipped it gets 19mpg. Not bad for a big 4X4 crew cab. We are a family of four and need room for four bikes, a generator and camping gear. We cannot use a hitch mount rack because we regularly tow our 28' Airstream travel trailer. We keep 4 Yakima Bed Heads on the truck. They work great and are easy to load and unload.

Hubby wants a cap but I think it will make loading the bikes more difficult. We would have to give up the Bed Heads. Plus, exhausting the generator would be an issue.

Anyone out there have experience with a PU with a cap?

I was at the VW store last week and they had more TDi models than you could shake a stick at. Jettas sedans and SportWagons, the new 2010 Golf and Touaregs. Seems like supply has caught up with demand.

VW's have great head and leg room. My 6'3"+ son has room to spare in my GTI. My 6'7" dad even remembers our '63 bug as his car with the roomiest cockpit and head room.
