same with say... the corvette.... 3 main models. the base coupe, the Z06, and the ZR1. (the camaro will follow suit with the Z28....did I say that...lol).
now I know you are thinking. "But Spike, we're talking about 3 different brands, not just a single car with multiple teirs"
and you are right, but while it might seem like a waste of time to offer 3 lines of nearly identical vehicles (save for a facelift and a couple badges), that facelift and those couple badges are worth a lot to certain buyers and GM is fully aware of this and is cashing in on it. and as long as they are making money, then our Camaros can stay.

I don't know, maybe it's just me. I just don't see the point for that middle ground. Especially when really there is no "middle" ground. It's the exact same thing.
Corvette - I don't see that as three different models, I see them as different sub-models. It's different versions when it comes to performance. The base coupe - nothing special
The Z06 - the affordable corvette for the middle class, while still being pretty good at the track
The ZR1 - the corvette for the rich class, when it comes to corvettes, it the king
