Luckily, other than being a little sore, I'm fine. I will say this for Lexus...their safety systems are top-notch. Police/Firemen told me if it had been any other car, they would have to have pulled me from the car. The Chevy Avalanche in front of me had stopped somewhat abruptly, but I had plenty of distance and time to slow down. The gentleman behind me however, wasn't paying attention. Praying to God it's totaled...however after talking to the police officer...he doesn't see any way that it can't be totaled. Here's the photos.









Lost my 5 wood and can't get my driver out...

Wow. Glad you are okay. This is a very safe car (except for the stock tires).

From the photos, it is definitely totaled. Will you buy another one of the same?

Good you're OK. Car can be replaced.

Which bags deployed? Looks like the side curtains may have but didn't realize they did in rear/front end collision.

I'm sorry for your lose brother glad your okay! Make sure you tell the insurance co that your sore and get your personal injury fund $ usually $1500 (PIF) good luck!!!

yeah, obviously since this was just this morning I haven't heard anything from any of the insurance adjusters. From what the police officer said about the replacement cost of just the airbags....$12,000, plus from what I've seen on here before about the price of our headlight assemblies....$1,500/each, I can't imagine it's not totaled. Both the front end and back end are smashed to pieces and the interior looks like garbage from where all the airbags came out. Not to mention how long it would take to get it back to "normal"....rental car cost would be approaching thousands of dollars as well.

I would like another GS...just depends on what they give me. Doing preliminary estimates on KBB, NADA and Edmunds...looks like the retail value of the car is ~$40,000....had all options except ML and dynamic cruise, plus I only had about 9,600 miles on it. Looking at my vehicle registration..."assessed value" on there says 39,300...so I would be happy with that. Not sure if it's good or bad that all three involved in this accident had State Farm. I'm hoping for the best.

Steering wheel, side curtain on drivers side..and in the back seat as well, knee airbags. I don't think the airbags on passenger side deployed as I was the only one in the car.

Glad you are ok. Police officers should probably offer silence rather than opinions on whether or not a car is totaled since they're really not qualified to make such assessments.
