Hail Storm, Fix or Sell?

I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You may have noticed us featured on cnn news today regarding a massive hail storm that struck last night. I have an '05 sedan with 46k miles that sustained $10,900 in damage. Needless to say, I am very upset. That was my baby. I counted over 45 dents in the hood, the windshield is severely cracked, and both the hood and roof will have to be replaced. My question is, should I take that money from insurance, sell the car and buy a new one, or just have it fixed (the whole car will have to be repainted)?

If I do sell the car, should I get another g? I drove both a speed6 and speed3 today but was less than impressed by the quality of the interior and low end torque (though they hall @$$ from 70!). My interest has been caught by the c32 amg's, but I can't get a manual in those. I am not looking to spend more than $22-$24. Any suggestions help...

I've heard good stuff about the Audi A3. You can get a new one for under 25k (before taxes).

Any pics of your car? Sorry to hear about the damage. Can they really replace the roof?
