I'll update this post as soon as I hear more information with my insurance company. Thanks everyone!
That's why when ever some one totals a car in my family I have it towed to my house and not the towers yard.

Last time this happend it was my father inlaws Xtera and we switched out a bunch of parts on the car before the insurance came to haul it away.

I wonder how much less this accident would have been if the lady's old Olds had ABS. Nearly all accidents I've seen lately involve older vehicles with no ABS and no ESC. Those cars ought to be outlawed as far as I'm concerned. See too many of these junkers causing harm to others because the driver can't brake or steer in an emergency.

BTW, glad everyone was okay. That's always the most important thing here. Also, a good repair shop could rebuild that thing, even if it gets totalled.

I don't think any less as she didn't even touch the brake pedal? lol....

If they outlaw all cars without ABS, it'd **** off a lot of those classic car collectors...

Anyway, update: Insurance totaled the vehicle which means I will be test driving the RX350 and GS350 very soon!

Keep us updated on what you end up buying. RX350 and GS350 are both nice cars.

+1 for GS, the new gen's interior is so SEXY! I hope the next gen IS will have an interior similar to that of the GS.

IS to GS with F Sport is such a nice upgrade! I heard a lot of good things about the new GS. It is like on par with BMW 5 series or even M3 in term of handling.
