We've towed a 2000 MR2 Spyder, a 2006 Jeep Liberty, and also nothing. Each has it's advantage and disadvantage. No clear winner for every kind of vacation.
ADDING:
The Two Ds mentions below, a bike rack on the back of their CRV. We did the same with our Jeep Liberty as shown, experiencing no trouble at all. We do have a class-3 3500 pound hitch on the Liberty which makes it very trustworthy given the cantelevering of the rack to clear the spare tire. If installing a trailer hitch, always get the heaviest duty you can find.
