Bike Rack for the Yaris Sedan?

Today, I went to my bike shop to see if I could find a new bike rack for my new Yaris Sedan S (spoiler), and he didnt know of any that would work. I've seen the Saris Bones racks that are said to be almost universal, but he contacted the company and they havent tested the sedan yet, only the hatchback.

Has anyone found a bike rack that works on the Yaris yet?

you can actually get one specially for your Yaris at least you can for the Hatch so go to accessories on Toyota website and see if it offers it for your Sedan keep us updated

The Saris Bones will not work...already tried it. There is currently no roof rack for the sedan, but Thule is working on it as we speak. The Thule and Yakima trunk model racks will work - but they suck. I don't know why Toyota didn't make a rack for the sedan...but I'll have to wait until Thule figures it out.

There is now an aftermarket trailer hitch for the yaris sedan/hatch. It is made by Curt Manufacturing and costs $150. There is no drilling or welding required. It can be seen at www.hitchesonline.com - I ordered one and will use a hitch mount rack.b

Yakima now lists a roof rack for the sedan, I had already installed a Curt hitch to attch bikes to. The hitch is very nice...it bolts to the factory tie downs.
