The 2012 North American International Auto Show kicked off this week, and there are cars of many flavors: luxurious, flashy, eco-friendly, and my favorite — mini. Tiny cars are great for big cities, but some are even better on gas. Take a gander at a few that I'd love to test-drive right away. Read more
