Thanks for the pics. I have a Saris Bones but with the ability to carry 3 bikes.
That carrier has 4 legs instead of three, which just seems more stable.
I haven't even tried it out yet on the Yaris. Usually, it is just my own bike, but I
thought I would like the ability to transport a couple of friend's bikes.
Only downside is that the 3 bike carrier sticks out farther. Perhaps I should trade
someone. My carpooling buddy with the Yaris has a bike carrier that is smaller,
(non-Saris), but I don't like the way it is secured to the car, and his has to be slightly
off-center due to the rear wiper. I like the way the Saris clears the wiper.

I had seen some posts from a year or so ago that used the hitch mount, which looked
rather clean. However, there was a lot of discussion, both pro and con about not
mounting a trailer hitch, even for a bicycle.

BTW, Saris is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.
Just had a get a plug in for the Badger State !!
