I agree with most of your points, though I'm not sure that investing in digital before the industry imploded would have been a bad idea. Some certainly would have failed, but others would have likely prospered. You're right that there wasn't nearly the wealth of free / cheap tools then - so maybe five years ago would have been too soon, but at least taking the time to understand the social web vs. dismiss it would have been a good start.
You're also right that most big papers have bigger problems than readership. Overhead, unions, and financial issues are going to kill those, though I'm hopeful that a new breed of professional journalism outlets will rise up to fill in their place.
Thanks for the comments - very insightful.

I don't know if TV made me more excited about the car or not, but it definitely planted a seed and made me want to dig deeper. In the end, I chose the Fit over the Versa and Yaris because I liked it better.
I did go to the automotive sites, but in all honesty, they played no particular role, as most of them are just brochures.
