2nd the minivan! We currently have a Nissan Quest. We don't have any kids, just bikes. It's great man! We just leave the seats folded down all the time, and just roll the bikes right in! NOTHING is easier than a minivan! We also have a Nissan Armada. And while the Armada is huge, you just can't roll 2 bikes into it. At best, we have to fold the seats down, and we can lie 2 bikes on each other.

Sure, minivans may not be the coolest, but when it comes to bike hauling, they are tops! If you must go SUV, I would recommend the Xterra from Nissan. A buddy of mine has one, and with it's stepped roof, he can stand 3 bikes in the back with the front wheels off (and the handlebars turned). My 2 cents though. . .Get a minivan!
