These were made in a limited run, but you might can get something smiler.
Don't opt for the cheap nock-offs tough!

Rear mounted racks like the Bones or hitch mounts have the added benefit of using your car as a shield to protect your bike from bugs, high pressure rain, and debris kicked up by other vehicles. This along with the improved fuel efficiency is why I use a Bones rack over my aesthetic preference, roof racks. As has been noted, the bones rack can be tough on your paint, so if you have a color that will show scratches easily (and care) go with the hitch mount option.

I'm a roofrack fan but, since the OP said he needed it to fit multiple vehicles, I would say to go with an easily removable trunk rack from any of the better known manufacturers.

I have found roofracks to be a better theft deterrent and afford more space for bikes though.

It is most likely irrational but I don't like supporting a bike from thin carbon frame
Support from the wheels (which are designed for it) is best for me.
I have a Thule Euroride

+1 for Thule

Thule roofrack- good swedish quality.

I have a Thule t2 hitch rack on my mazdaspeed3 and love it. Its a bit heavy but is solid and holds any bike you throw on it. If I had to do it all over I would get the seasuckers roof rack.

@nickf, thanks for that lead. Had never heard of this...

It sounds like an incredibly interesting product... google helped me find this.

I think they are coming out with a kit so you can use a standard Thule/ yak tray on it. Ill be picking one up when its released.

Getting my new car just in time for the london to brighton, a saab estate. Have decided to go the hitch route i think. The car comes with a removable towbar, which is the best hitch to go for? I know the thule ones are supposed to be good but there are a few of them.

With trunk mounts watch out for proximity of wheel to exhaust. I melted a tire that way, a long time ago...

Thule Speedway 2 works for me; no problems
