Unfortunately my box is not designed for bikes. I went out and double checked, and with the wheels off neither of my bikes fit. They both have fenders and racks though, and it's not a long shot for a single bike to fit in there if it didn't have so much hardware strapped on.

The Civic's wake isn't really a big enough envelope for 4 bikes.

I remember your thread on your cutaway trunk; and I think that is a pretty high performance solution overall.

I've put a little thought into this, since I'm trying to envision my next family car, and bikes are on my radar, and I think the solution may require starting with a car with a bigger wake in the first place, i.e. wagon or hatchback. At least, I'd end up with a lot more cargo volume that way. The Matrix (aka Vibe) is at the top of my list since it has a tow rating as well as a small engine.
