I can't comment on California, but did have a conversation with my insurance agent last week about rates and she said that it driven by replacement part costs.
The situation was that I was insuring my new Cherokee - which was only about $2,000 less (new) than my Z was new. Rates for it were around half of what the Z was for the exact same coverage. When I asked why, she explained that because the Z was low production, replacements parts were so much more expensive than for a high production vehicle like the Cherokee.
