 We recommend you replace your vehicle models every 5 to 8 years and your components every 8 to 12 years. With vehicles, you can create new generations. A new generation is a vehicle that shares the same name and legacy as an older model but is a redesigned model. The new generation inherits the vehicle image of the older model and can give you development cost discounts if components remain the same.
-See the Research and Development page for information on how to make New Generations. FIXME
+See the [[gamemanual:howto_newgeneration|New Generations]] page for more information.
 There is little to no benefit in making a new vehicle generation more frequently than every 3 years.

+For components, there is no new generation system. The game includes a “Redesign” system to remake your components. The Redesign system loads the sub-components and slider positions of a selected model, but slider effects on final ratings change every year as technology and regulation progress. The result is a new design that uses the old slider positions but has different stats based on the era.
