No they dont make one. Towing cant possibly be reccomended on these cars.

I have one similar. I found the paperwork from the previous owner. When he moved out here from North Carolina he pulled a small Uhaul trailer. Not sure how much weight. |

I don't think it's that bad of an idea. If I ever need a bike rack I'll get one that goes into the receiver hitch. Less chance of scratching the paint and you can still open the liftback. I wouldn't pull a huge trailer for long distances but from the records I have from the previous owner my car has.
