I was wondering why this wouldn’t make insurance unaffordable and the car unsellable, if it were a real issue, and that answers it - thanks.

As has been pointed out MANY times on the current CAST items if you have an accident large enough to go through the replaceable parts the crash bars and it DOES damage the cast it is a write off anyway.

These days repairs on regular cars are so cost prohibitive, that if the accident is severe enough to deploy airbags it’s a write off.

Yeah, I thought this was already an issue with unibody designs. Once the internal structure is damaged, it’s a write-off either way.
