Thank you for your recent inquiry. We are sorry we were unable to answer you at that time.
Yes, the credit can be claimed twice on the Form 8910, if you were the original purchaser of the new qualifying vehicles.
When you asked the question about the claiming the credit twice, were they aware that the first car was totaled and paid for by insurance?

The reality, I think, is that the AMT problem may bite you. You can never legally pay less taxes than the AMT system requires -- no matter how many tax credits or deductions you have or qualify for. So many people hit the limit just trying to claim it for 1 car -- it's doubtful that you'd be able to claim much (if any) for a 2nd vehicle.
