One reason is that not all racks fit all cars. When we were looking for racks we went to Small Boat Shop, where they carry Thule. Dick asked what kind of car we had, & when we told him it was a '96 Mercury Mystique, he checked his book & told us that they didn't make a rack to fit that car. So we wound up going to REI where we could get the Yakima rack that did fit the car. We now have a Thule rack on our other car (a "95 Dodge Neon), and my husband (who drives that car) says that he much prefers the Thule, for all of the reasons already given. > > I often have wondered why people, when faced with round vs. square, > continue to get the round ones, i.e. Yakimas as opposed to Thules. > The > square bars can't roll and they also seem to tighten better inside > the > towers, at least from my own experience and observation of others. > ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
