Default What type of frame is ISX50?

Does anyone know if the ISX50 chassis is a unibody design?

A kid t-boned my IS350 and they had to replace the rear and front passenger side doors. Not sure if they had to cut into the frame of the car to get this type of repair done. Is this type of damage considered "structural frame damage"?

Thanks.

sucks that you got hit. Glad that you're ok. I would look into getting reimbursed for "diminished value" based on the fact that the car will show as having been in a significant wreck when you sell it. Certain states allow for you to claim diminished value, certain ones don't.

the insurance company will certainly fight you on it, but it could be worth a few thousand and I think there are people you can hire to make the case for how much value you've lost
