Expert Reply:
The Thule Raceway, # TH9001, will not fit on a 2011 Nissan Rogue with a rear spoiler. The bike rack and/or the cables that attach it to the vehicle would contact the spoiler which cannot withstand the stress. For the Rogue, I recommend going with a trailer hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack.
For a trailer hitch, you can use # 87457. And for a bike rack, the most popular 2 bike model is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. I have included informational links on the hitch and bike rack for you.
For the Mazda, it is unlikely that a trunk mount rack will fit with a spoiler for the same reasons it will not fit on the Rogue. The best option then is to go with a trailer hitch. The XTC-2 will also fit a trailer hitch for a Mazda 6. I would need to know the year of the Mazda 6 in order to make a recommendation.
