I think your experience is fairly typical in rear end collisions. Very often the vehicle that was rear-ended will fair better - Volvo or not.

However, before you break out the champagne, understand that your car may have a significant amount of damage. My wife was hit like this in her 240 and the car had much less visible damage than you. I was looking at $1500 damage for a new bumper cover, bumper struts, and other misc hardware and labor.

The car that hit her was a Saturn and like your girlfriend's car it did not fair as well. My wife said that the other person drove off with her front bumper dragging on the ground after all of the paperwork was done.
