I bought a nifty steel-frame bike rack based on this idea for my Saturn VUE. It's hinged so that the frame can fold flat, and it has two fork mounts, with somewhat adjustable positions. It worked well to hold two traditional geometry bikes inside the cargo area, with the rear seats down.

Unfortunately the VUE died, but I still have the rack - until I get around to selling it somewhere. The hatch on my CR-V slopes forward more than the VUE, and the way the fork and headset are angled on my new bike, there's no way to position it without having the handlbars smash through the hatch glass. I may try one more time, by flipping it around to put the bike in with the handlbars towards the front, but I think an eBay listing and hitch mount are in my future.
