Sorry Brian. That really sucks. Glad to hear that everyone is all right. Saab does do well in the safety tests, and its good to know that there is real world correlation. As for the car, I know you're hating the damage. I suppose the insurance would not total it? They should if there is any serious frame damage (including the safety cage). Obviously you will need new doors, fenders, windows, who knows what else. The best thing I can think to do is to take it to Saab for the estimate and ask the tech to go through every spec with a fine tooth comb, and if its out, it needs to be replaced. *Theoretically* if all necessary parts are replaced, and all the right adjustments are made to spec, the car should perform as it did before. Since your car is new, I would not hesitate to take it back for anything you notice after the repair. I f they dont get it right the first time on the insurance company's tab, the are still obliged to get it right the next time around at their own expense. Again. Sorry for the crash. I know I would be in tears. Best of luck.
