what vehicle to transport bikes (INSIDE)

[bcipam]

A great little vehicle for bikes was the Ford Explorer - Sport model. It was long and tall enough to easier carry 4 bikes inside (with the front wheel removed )and 2 passengers (or 3 bikes and 3 passengers). Unfortunately Ford stopped making the Sport in favor of the Escape which is too small to properly carry bikes. The 4 door Explorer is still boxy and tall enough to carry 4 bikes (although if the bikes are big (say 57cm or larger) you might have to remove the seat post). Everything else sucks. I know I have been looking for a replacement of my 1997 Explorer Sport but nothing comes close. And I refuse to drive a van of any sort just because.
