Firstly, glad everyone is okay, and sorry about the car
Can't tell much by the picture it looks very similar to my friends accident, he also got side swiped, his car got totaled though because the car hit parts of the engine itself. So it all depends..

Damn sorry to hear that, but glad to see nobody was injured and everyone walked away from it!
To me, it looks like it's totaled, but only your insurance company can tell you 100%. I certainly would not want the car back after taking an impact like that. To me it just looks like there is a lot of damage there...probably too much to be worth repairing.

Not too many miles considering an 06
Although juding by the pics it looks like it MAY have bent the passenger frame, which would be considered 'totaled' by most insurance companies. I would bet also that there's alot more damage that this single pic wouldn't clarify.
Your going to have to let insurance look at it, but my money is on totaled.

thats what i was thinking as well after the impact it was real hard to put the shifter into park i had to use a lot of force to do so and when inspecting it it looked like the engine got moved back a little sure dont want the car back after this sad to say and i really loved this car

no no air bags went off which i was suprised by because the cop said she must have been going way faster then 15 mph which was the speed limit to do that much damage and them not going off

Looks like ur damage is below where the sensors are on the core support so airbags didnt go off which is good. But yeah, its done. not a bad rebuildable. 6500-7000 at ins auction.
