That is way worse then the accident my wife had earlier this month. Glad you and yours are okay.... As you said, the car did it's job and a lesser vehicle could have had ambulance and hospitals needed.... Question: did the airbags deploy?
The picture is the rear end but your describe a lot of front end damage as well so that implies a massive impact from behind and getting pushed into the vehicle ahead of you..... Our car was rear only and not as severe and no front damage and the body shop is at $12K and counting. We were told it was being painted this week so hope to pick it up soon.
Keeps us posted on your experiences with insurance settlements for just the car with the hope you recover fair value, A replacement if not buying brand new is a journey as well.....

Glad you are ok. True testament to the engineers at Lexus. To take a hit like that and survive is awesome. Sad to see such a fine road machine laid to rest, but she will donate parts so others may go on!
