Hello,
I've used the same Thule racks on all three of my Saabs (eight+ years). You will pay a little more than for some of the rear-mounted, and probably about the same as for Yakima (also very good). For the Saab 900 crossbars, feet (gutter-type on mine), and "long tray" bike attachments, you'll probably pay around $250 (it's been a while, but I think it's around there). I got the "short tray," which works fine and is a little cheaper. A little pricey, maybe, but they'll last the life of your car, and you won't have to worry about anything flying off. I've carried bikes and boards on the rack at 70mph+ with 25kt+ headwind, over thousands of miles, and never lost a thing (knock on wood)!
Plus, they make the car not only more functional, they make them look even better, IMO.
If you're only doing occasional recreational riding, I'm sure some of the less expensive tail-gate mounted type would suffice. I think Rhode Gear makes one model.
