smashed rear end
last week, I was at a stop light when a guy rammed his 89 toyota camry into the rear end of my IS at 30mph. The trunk was moved up about 1 inch, the rear bumper is gone, the exhaust was pushed back and off, and camera was damaged. My question is, Do you think this might be terms for totaling? I would much rather buy a whole new car than get this damaged car back.
Any comments/suggestions?

Your '06 AWD is probably worth around $28K.
Damage would have to be 75% of it's value to be a total loss.

It shouldn't be a total loss.
In all honesty, as much as we hate having our cars damaged, the damages you describe are rather cosmetic. It shouldn't affect the functionality and safety of the vehicle.
Be glad that you're safe and the car has a little boo-boo. It will get fixed.
