To close this thread, I settled on a Yakima Skybox Pro 16
It is a bit shorter than the one I had before and wider. 16 cubic feet (81" x 36" x 15") vs 11 cubic feet (89" x 22" x 14").
With the wide bars I have, I can still put two fork mount bike attachments up there. The lift gate opens without issue and it doesn't mess with the antenna. I'll snap some pics tonight and put them in my picture poster.

your so right, sometimes it looks perfect, other times too dark and sometimes too light...
I think it is because the atlas has a slightly metalic finish and the cargo box is a solid color...
But overall it is way closer than I had hoped for... When the car and box are both clean and it is an overcast day it looks VERY VERY close.... On a sunny day the box looks too light, but still looks good I think...
Overall I'm very happy with it though, I think the lines of the box match the ar perfect, and the color is really close to atlas (most of the time). Several people have asked if it was made specially for the allroad....

yeah sorry, can't really show it to you in person
but I could take more pics if you like... I would recommend it though, especially for atlas...
Too other big pluses:
+It's cheap
+It's not a Thule or a Yak, one of those two are on every single wagon around here... The Inno is a little more unique (and better looking imho)...
The only downside, which I feel I should warn about, is that is does produce a slight high pitch whine occasionally around 70mph... Although it is not too bad (music will easily hide it). The whine is only there about 5-10% of the time and can be cured easily by tilting open the moon roof just a bit... Really, I get annoyed pretty easily by any rattle/squeak/whine and this has barely started to annoy me, it's very mild and easy to cure, but it is there (sometimes)...
