Matrix Roof Rack choices?

Hope to buy a new car this weekend. Will probably be either a Matrix,
Vibe, or CR-V.
Need to occasionally carry a few 2x4's so need a roof rack.
Is there something available for the Matrix, especially something that
uses most of the length of the Matrix roof? I don't see anything in
their brochure, or on their web site.
For some reason on some of these smaller vehicles I see racks that are
really short, and that don't have cross-members to tie to either. Am
hoping to find something a little more substantial.

8-foot 2x4s will fit in the Matrix with the hatchback closed. If I
only needed it occasionally I wouldn't ruin the looks of my Matrix with
a roof rack.

Or, check out Yakima or Thule racks.
