The X was totaled today

The insurance company totaled my 3 month old Carbon Black 4.4.
To look at it on the surface you would think it might be repairable, but there was severe damage to the rear subframe and the rear floor would have had to be replaced. That was just the rear. The impact was hard enough to push the right side exhaust forward and crack the cylinder head causing other internal damage to the engine. This seemed to be enough for the adjuster to conclude as well as all the body work that needed to be done that it was a total loss.
There aren't any of the same Carbon Black 4.4 Sport/Premium w/ Nav. so I will probably order one for her.

Sorry for the loss. Look at it this way...If you had any second thoughts about the car, you have a second chance to order one slightly different (different options, whatever). Let us know what your thoughts are as you go along.

Sorry to hear that, Joe. With that much damage, though, you are probably better off long-term that they decided to total it.

That doesn't look bad at all. I feel sorry for whoever ends up buying it as a salvage vehicle thinking that it's an easy fix.
