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

the highlighted part is the reason we have GMC as the "middle tier"
its an "upgrade" from the chevy line, but its not as over the top as the caddy version.
and its not the exact same thing. sure, generally speaking the vehicles are very similar (built on the same architecture), but look past the badges and youve got a little more luxury in the GMC trucks over the chevy ones and even more so in the caddy's. People want some luxury, but cant afford the top of the line, so they settle for the middle ground.
without that middle ground, GM customers might go to another company to buy the vehicle that gives them the luxury they want at the price they can afford.
