The tC was already being phased out (as it said in the release) so really not much is changing here.
The cars are still built (with a logo change) in the same factory, shipped to the same locations, and sold by the same people. Very minimal change.

Just the logo stamp change on a single part could potentially void a contract(depending on the terms) or increase costs significantly or increase production time/backorder
