I have linked you to all the trunk-mounted bike racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2008 Saturn Outlook.

As you can see, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack, part # TH911XT that you referenced will indeed fit your Outlook.

The best selling model for that vehicle is the Thule OutWay which is available in a 3 bike model as part # TH56BV.

The OutWay is our most popular rack because of the innovative attachment system that uses 2 retractable cables instead of the 6 straps that other racks use. This allows the rack to be installed or removed in seconds.

Make sure you do NOT use the rear wiper while the rack is in place, or the wiper will be damaged.

For women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

I have also linked to some product demonstration videos and installation details.
