Direct replacement of NG900

I'm not ready yet. My 1997 900SE 2.0T at 155k mi has more life in it, no problem. But there will be a day when I need something newer. I'm quite sure I'll replace it with a used SAAB (whether SAAB exists or not). No worries.
Now, assuming i wouldn't get a SAAB. What would be the most probable replacement? Here's what I need.
Roof rack. Preferably factory style since they mount better/slimmer. I carry bikes around 80% of the time, so it's absolutely necessary.
Trunk. Needs to be generous. I carry the 2 frontwheels of the bike, plus a couple of bins of bike stuff...and more.
Towing. I can tow 2000lbs now, and I do. Dirt bike or a cubic yard of mulch/compost.
I'd like to get close to 30mpg HWY (no roof rack or trailer).
Some nice to haves would be leather seats and some premium features. I have that now.
So far there may be some Euro makes that fit. But I'd like to spend south of $10k. It can be 4-6 years old. I honestly can't think of any cars that can fit my need. The 900 is that versatile.
ideas?
