This leaves room behind the 3rd row for luggage, and also allows my to put a Thule soft sided carrier on the factory roof rails for more luggage. I can also fit 2 bikes in the back if the 3rd row seat is folded flat (it flips down into a well in the floor). I have 2 fork mounts on a board that I can just slide in the back.
My Subaru legacy wagon fits two bikes. One upright across the back seat and one on an angle in the rear cargo area.
