Hitch/Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Saab 9-3 Aero Dual Exhaust Sedan
Question:
Im confused. Is there a hitch for this sedan, or only for the SportCombi version?

Expert Reply:
According to Curt, they do not have a hitch fit for the 9-3 Sedan with dual exhaust. The # C11140 hitch is a fit for the Sport Combi wagon model, but it won't work on the sedan model because the undercarriage is different at the rear.
If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your vehicle, Thule offers an extremely easy to use trunk mounted rack option, the OutWay, available in a 2 bike version as # TH45JV or a 3 bike version as # TH56BV.
Rather than the 6 not-so-easy buckle and strap arrangement that might have made you swear up and down never to mess with a trunk mounted rack again, the GateWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps that allow the rack to be installed and removed in seconds. The rack lockable, and the feature to also lock the bikes to the rack. The OutWay isn't an inexpensive option, but it's not a bad deal when you consider that you're saving the cost of a trailer hitch.
