Default 2007 GS350 Totaled

So I am a new member here and thought I would share a couple photos of a totaled 2007 GS350. All damage is from frontal impact and only the leg air bag deployed. Luckily there were no serious injuries...

It was... Not sure why only the knee air bag came out, clearly something didn't function correctly.

If he was the only one inside of the car,then the drivers side airbags will only deploy...If no one is seating in the other seats(passenger or rear) due to this being a frontal only crash ,then the computers will only deploy the seats that are being used.

No kidding. Look at the steering wheel.

Anyway, the interior looks pristine considering how mangled the front is... seems like these things crash with class.

Looks like the design worked as it should have (besides the steering wheel airbag not deploying) in that the passenger cabin is completely unscathed while the front end crumpled and absorbed the impact! Good design work there.

I'm curious as to the circumstances of the accident... what was crashed into and at what speed...
