The acorns are the size of small ping pong balls this year...and dinged the roof of our low mile 2008 Carnry..
The insurance company wants to total the car, if you can believe that...
It's just a formula to them, if the cost of repair is more than the car is worth then they'll total it. Dings are expensive to fix and each one adds up so they total something like that, I've seen brand new cars totaled due to hail dings because it costs more to fix than the car is worth.
Let them total it, take the check, then buy it back at the salvage value as said by others. It's just cosmetic and it's a Toyota so you should easily be able to drive it another 300,000 miles. If the dings bother you then find a paintless dent repair guy and haggle with him to pull them out.
