saw a 4k (fwd) at AVS.  trunk was crunched almost to the backlight--don't
know if the glass was broken or just removed, but it wasn't there.  a guy in
the yard said the rear doors (removed) opened & closed.  impressive.

i wouldn't knock the Honda--a few other cars, maybe.  Bernard's, a great
body shop here in Seattle BTW, looked at damage done to our Accord--suprised
this happened in a parking lot (guessed other car was at 40mph) said many
lesser cars would have been totaled by the impact this car took (right rear
quarter--$6k damage).  car looks great today.
