My best recommendation for you is the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL. This is my personal favorite due to its nice arched design and how it fits a large variety of vehicles. Since both of your vehicles have a rear hatch, you do need to pick up the separate Hatch Huggers # SA3035 which will replace some of the hooks on the original straps. Locks are not included, so you can also pick up a separate lock like # e98891.

When mounting to your 2012 Honda CRV:
Part # SA3035 Hatch Hugger required to replace Lower Hooks OR place Lower Hooks inside trunk.
Flat part of foot must sit against vertical surface of trunk face.

When mounting to your 2010 Lexus RX350:
Part # SA3035 Hatch Hugger required to replace Top Hooks
Place lower rack feet into license plate well.
Upper strap should be placed over the leg.
