I'd think it'd hit home with more than cyclists if a manufacturer designed a small (or even compact) SUV that could contain two fully assembled XL frame sized bicycles upright. The Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster & Chevy City Express come as close as it gets though. They all look terrible, horrible to work on, & are snails to drive. Sure you can upgrade to the higher end options, but it tends to increase the size & complexity of a supposed simple design.
If I were to pick one of the three mentioned, I'd opt for the Ford Transit & LS swap it. lol
