I couldn't stand to take pictures, but my almost new 2014 Limited got bashed in the front in a very similar way (of course, the pickup truck came at me at high speed -- in reverse . . .) These cars have crumple zones to protect you and the mechanicals, and my frame turned out to be perfect, even with a hood so tented you could sleep under it. I even drove it home on the highway at 60 mph, performing perfectly.

So. After a month of assembling pure Subaru parts and $7500 worth of work, I have my baby back in immaculate shape, and since I have no intention of selling it before I die (I'm 69), I don't care what the title or Carfax says.

So, buck up there, the chances are that it only looks worse than it actually is.
