I just bought the SAAB roof bars and the single bike rail for my AERO sedan. They work pretty well, only takes a few minutes to install. With the single bike rail the bike does not have to be taken apart to be placed on the rack. The roof bars are a MUST as they fit nicely into the attaching holes under the weatherstrip of the upper door jam. As far as the rail, the SAAB rail is great as you can just lift the bike and place in the rail. There's another rail that should work with the roof bars, but it requires you to remove the front tire and then place the bike on the rail, what you do is secure the fork on the rail, vice the tire on the SAAB. The only advantage I seen in that design is that the bike may sit lower, vice fully upright with the SAAB rail.
The bike on the rack is stable at speeds above posted freeway speeds, just in case you are in a hurry to ride that bike.
