Talk:Ferrari California T

Why this page is not redundant
While creating it I noticed this page had alredy been created and subsequently deleted. Why I think this article should stand:

Ferrari California : Ferrari California T = Ferrari 360 Modena : Ferrari F430

All-new sheetmetal, interior and powertrain on the same chassis.; it's a different model. Many other Ferraris with much, much more subtle differences have separate articles: like Ferrari 550 Maranello and Ferrari 575M Maranello, Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 and Ferrari 400 etc. --Cloverleaf II (talk) 09:09, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Isn't the California T just the latest variant of the California? How different is it from the old California? Obviously it has a turbo and the body has been tweaked. Is this just an update of an existing model or is it a new car in it's own right that just happens to use the old name as a marketing ploy? Does the California model continue with the old body (implying that the California T is a different car)? Note that the Ferrari examples may have made the wrong choices, so blindly following them is not a reason - you must give reasons for this car.  Stepho  talk 23:57, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * What changes? All of the body panels bar the roof, all of the interior, the powertrain. What does not? The overall chassis and its hardpoints.
 * The California >> California T switch is one of Ferrari's usual comprehensive mid-cycle overhauls for their V8 chassis'. As I wrote, the same as Ferrari 360 Modena →Ferrari F430 or before these Ferrari 348 →Ferrari F355.


 * Want a more down-to-earth similitude? Golf Mk.V → Golf Mk. VI. Same chassis, same hardpoints (just check out these greenhouses). Yet new sheetmetal, interior and powertrains; and the Golf VI gets its own page. Cloverleaf II (talk) 06:53, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I disagree with the spin off of this article. It is still a Ferrari California and should be included as a section under that article. There is no reliable source stating this is a completely separate automobile. For example, here it is referred to as simply a second generation. Multiple generations of the same vehicle are generally included in a single article (recognizing that in some exceptional cases there are spin offs, but there is not enough different content here to warrant that.)
