Hi,
Last friday my A2 was hit by a Renault Espace. I drove about 50 km/h, the espace maybe 60 km/h. He had to let me pass but he claimed he never saw me (the downside of a small car....) and he almost never braked.
The espace hit the A2 on the side between the headlights and the wheelarch.
The damage is substantial but I don't think the car is totalled. The front is cracked open, both front sidepanels are bent, both headlights are damaged, foglights are gone, left wheel is damaged, hood is bent. servicemodule is cracked and when pushing the car from the road the driversdoor was damaged.
But perhabs the leasecompany decides that it's financially wiser to sell the A2... I expect an answer tuesday when a damage report is taken.
I took some pictures but they are very bad since it was dark. I enhanced one:

The Espace had a flat tire and some minor scratches. Since the Espace is from the same leasecompany both cars were towed together, but I don't have pictures of that.
