Pretty cool idea...if you didn't need a hitch for anything else...


Offered by GM on their European line of Opels...

I wonder if that also interferes with your spare tire...???

hmm that opel is the domestic version of the Saturn Vue wonder if you can order that part and install it over here.

I feel betrayed by GM, why Europe???

I wonder if there is a European requirement that a bike cannot obscure the license plate. (This car has 2 rear plates.) Maybe the rack was designed because there was no other convenient way to mount a bike on a rear of a vehicle? (Yes, I know this is a stretch.)

Of course, I doubt the government would let you get 2 rear plates just because you said you needed one for your spiffy bike rack.

not here in the states but you can see how the EU is about motor vehicle laws. hell that extension even has brake/fog lights so drivers behind can see that you're braking.
