  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Had a rear-end collision on highway last weekend.
I had a small damage compared to the other car that hit my car (it was Mercedes).
No one was hurt in my car and I am very impressed by Genesis.

They do seem to be tough,I was involved in a three car rear end collison in Nov. lucky for my 16' Genesis I was in the front of the line and received the least amount of damage. Still took a hell of a whack but the damage was I guess what I called minimal, 👍🏻
 
That's a shame. It looks like your car was well taken care of. Glad nobody in your car was hurt. Anybody in the other car injured? How is it only the right rear of your car is damaged, but the entire width of his front end is destroyed?

I suspect that there is a lot more damage to your Genesis than you think. Take a look at the gap around all four doors, it should the same.
 
Airbag in the other car was deployed and driver was okay. Not sure how the entire front of the other car was destroyed.

I agree there could be more damage. Will get the inspection report soon from the insurance company.
 
The entire unibody may be twisted on the Genesis with that kind of angle hit.
 
Looks like it might be totaled unfortunately.
 
Just heard "totaled" based on formula: "Repair cost + salvage value" > "actual car value".
Sad to let her go...

"the guy who hit my car square with the center of his front impact crumple zones took more visible damage than my car that he hit on the side of the rear quarter panel" does not equal "My car is tougher, safer, better etc..... JFC, guys.
