You can get most everything that is in an XLR in a Vette with the exception of the folding hard top.

Aren't you simply saying: people who buy Corvettes instead of XLRs prefer Corvettes over XLRs.
No one is handing people $60,000 and saying choose between an XLR and Corvette. There are, however, real consumers out there. Some will want a hard-core Corvette no matter what GM does with the XLR. Some will never touch a Corvette no matter how cool you think it is. People who look at an XLR and say it's not worth it do not go buy a Corvette, even with your $60,000. They go buy an SL with their money.
