Do you have roof rails? If so, you can get options from Porsche for a reasonable price (at least via suncoast). Or go the Thule or Yakima route. I tried some roof mounted options from a Thule but ultimately sent them back. Just too hard to load the bikes and I was very worried about my wife trying it and damaging the paint.
I ultimately had my dealer install the trailer hitch for $1700 and got a hitch mount from Thule. couldnt be happier.

I've never tried the bike racks, but I use Thule racks for skis and fly rods. They are awesome.

Get a hittch w/o the wiring for around $200 - assuming you'll never tow. Seems a little tall to throw mount bikes up top. Plus you never have to worry about pulling into the garage....
I had the Thule swing arm for 4 bikes and the bolt holding the rack to the hitch would loosen after a bit with the bikes on. Now the Yakima swing arm 4 for 4 bikes and that has not happened - perhaps due to a stronger lock washer.
