Vehicle for hauling up to four bikes?

Good luck in your vehicle search. Welcome back (soon) to NC.

Minivan. Seats fold into the floor; they are cavernous. Better mileage than SUVs because they are not 4WD.

Have you considered a station wagon? I know, not a popular choice, but I just got one (probably not one you'd consider, as I have 4 wheel drive requirements). When I put the back seats down, I can fit both of my bikes in, no wheels off. My custom bike has a longer wheelbase and there is no way I could fit it in my sedan, with the seats down.
The car dealers kept pushing me to look at mini vans and I was like, "Are you kidding?" I don't want the soccer mom look. Anyway, besides the cargo room in the back, there are various top rack options for kayaks, etc.

Hey! don't knock the mini van . When we bought ours, I told DH there was NO WAY I was driving one of those. Absolutely not. After 5 years, go ahead and TRY to take it away from me .

Emily - sorry to hear Belize didn't work out as planned. Do consider a "not-mom" van though (that's what I call mine - no kids, but I do drive the van). Mine regularly gets about 25 mpg, fits TWO tandems inside without wheels off (plus cat carrier and all luggage/gear for the weekend), and doubles as a very large locker room for us when racing. We simply removed the second row of seating and stored them in the garage.

Surprisingly, the van is very comfortable to drive including long distances. I drive the Toyota Sienna, but would really like the Honda Odyssey if I were to trade-in at some point.
