well that's nice you have 3 vehicles congratulations. on a serious note, I got sick of having to take our Silverado every time I wanted to take my bike. As much as I ride, that was a lot, so I got this rack which not only works, but looks pretty f*cking cool rolling down the road. All I need is someone hanging out my passenger window handing water bottles to the peloton, or wielding an allen wrench making a quick adjustment on levi lepheimer's seat height.

ok i'm into cycling so sue me !!! :-)
I didn't mean to boast; the Forester is actually my wifes car. Only the Explorer and the 8 are mine. But my daughter will be driving soon, so I guess that our collective "fleet" will number 4 vehicles soon. Besides, looking at the lists of cars some club members list on their sigs, I have nothing to boast about anyway.
I like cycling too, both on, and off-road trail riding. My point was that I wouldn't choose my RX-8 to haul the bikes- that's why we have the 4WD vehicles. Much more room for all the other stuff too (hydration, food, change of clothes, helmets, etc., etc.). For our group of 3, the Mazda would be packed to the gills. Also the other 2 cars can take us to remote trails that the 8 just can't get to.
If you are the only one in the vehicle, then go for the 8 roof rack, Yankee. In that case, it's efficient use of resources.

I was just kidding .If all 3 in this family are riding we'll use the truck. I just dont' want to have to when most of my riding is done in groups I travel to ride with, or in triathlons.
