I like yakima...but that's because that's what I'll probably get for my xA. They have a Thule for the xA in Japan...

 

i have used yakima for the past 3 years. no complaints

 

ive got the yakima rack. i believe the only difference are the clips...in other words, they attach differently to the car. other than that...i don't think you could go wrong with either.

the attached is a pic of my set-up...although you cant see the rack that close up...but it will you an idea....good luck! :D

Excuse my ignorance, but what are we talking about. I did a search and roof racks came up. Am I warm?

 

You're hot!

How about looks? I would want the one that stands out the least.

I used to work for Yakima, so I may me a little biased, but I think their products are better. They are really good at fitting to specific vehicles and locking up the stuff you have loaded. They've always seemed stronger than the Thule's which have always struck me as looking kinda flimsy. Our joke line when I worked there was that Thule was for squares - their bars are square instead of round like the Yakimas. Now that I'm driving a square, I've got mixed feelings about that.

The Q towers like Naim's got fit perfectly on the xB.... or toybox1 has a Yakima rack too, but with rails added on the top instead of the QTowers.

 

LOL "Thule is for squares" I agree. I like Takima better. They seem to be stronger. I'm gonna save up for a system for my xA...
