I'm going to start off with some images of when our Crosstour was involved in an accident:
This is the traffic my dad caused

I'm driving my Pilot:
Note: For some reason, the sky was bright when we left to go to the accident, was dark when we got there, and was bright again when we left. Weird.
Lady in front of my dad was pregnant and slammed on the brakes. My dad did the same thing, but gently tapped her rear bumper. No real damage was done at this time. Then comes a lady who was talking on the phone, and slams into my dad, lifting up the rear of the CT, and pushing him forward into the minivan(which is why you see damage on the upper grill when the minivan's bumper sits much lower).
You can see in this pic that the woman who was on the phone stayed on the phone the WHOLE time, and got angry because I was taking pics of the scene. What is it with women? They are ALWAYS on the phone when driving! This one lied on the police report about being on the phone, but the records showed that she was using the phone during the accident, and started that conversation 14 minutes prior to it! Sad to see a nice, new Honda get messed up because of a stupid toyota.
The rear tire on the CT took the majority of the trauma to the rear, as evident by the lack of hard damage on the CT, but the total FUBA(partial)R-ing of the Toyota:
In these pics, it looks like the hood is open, but it isn't. The front of the car got ~3 inches wider, which you can see by the gap between each fender and hood side. The fender also pushed the passenger door back and jammed it closed. All the mounting brackets and weld points mounting the front bumper/fender either got bent down(if metal) or snapped(bumper's plastic), which is what makes the hood look like it's open. The light mounts snapped, and pushed into the corner of the fender, causing it to warp. They could not happier that away, and had to order new fenders.
It was a weird accident that cost $6400(!) in repairs. Luckily, we have a good family lawyer.
We took it to get repaired at a friends shop at John Lance Ford...you can't even tell the difference now.
All this did was assure us that we were not going to buy it after the lease ends. Sad
