Published: Dec. 3, 2012, 6 p.m.

Nissan is changing the LEAF to a different name in China, the Venucia C30. As if it didn't already have enough problems, Peugeot workers are protesting the company’s plan to shut down a plant in 2014. Chrysler pays the remainder of a $3,500 bonus to hourly workers earlier than needed, perhaps to gain favor with the UAW. All that and more, plus we take a look at Ford's first plug-in hybrid, the C-MAX Energi.
