The Yakima HangOut # Y02637 states that it is a fit for your vehicle.

If you are willing to spend a little more the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV is specifically designed to fit over factory spoilers, including the one on your Neon. The OutWay has all of the best features and comes with locks for both your rack and your bikes. It is the fastest and easiest to install because it uses only 2 retractable straps to secure the rack. It also provides the latest and greatest in road dampening technology. I have attached videos of both of these racks for you to consider.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
