Badly Damaged Viggen

It pains me to say this, but I think I probably totalled my 2000 Viggen two weeks ago. I lost control going through a sweeping right hand turn with a small rise at the apex. The rear end got loose after going over the rise and I began to counter steer to correct the problem, however immediately after the turn the road had a small dip in it which effectively made the car hook up. I was catapaulted off the left side of the road and head on into a parked car. The impact to my car was almost directly head on, however the drivers' side did take somewhat more of the impact.
My question is this: What type of frame does the Viggen have and how likely is it that the car would be a total loss as the result of an impact like this. The wheels appear not to have moved and the engine seems to be in its original spot, although everything in front of the engine has been badly damaged. I realize this is somewhat vague, but I'll post some pictures soon.
