The trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for your 2010 Subaru Outback is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. This is the nicest trunk mounted bike rack around.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy.
It features the One-Key System rack locks and a cable lock to deter theft of the rack and your bikes
For your womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you will need a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
