Eh..., I used to think "versatility." Now I think bikes should be strapped onto the SUV.

It looks like a slightly ridiculous attention-getter. It looks like an accident waiting to happen. IOW, one mis-step in placing the bikes and your nice US$80-90K car has got a fricking dent and scratch on the roofline. What _worse_ stuff happens if you have to slam on the brakes?

Just IMHO, I wish you 100% accident-free use of the bike rack.
