lol you are telling us that someone that is looking at a high power C7 will also be interested in a fail wheel drive TT and a smaller less powerful roadsters like a Z4 and SLK.

now I could see people cross shop between the C7 & FT1 with the M4, SR5, C63 AMG and RCF. but not with those little 3 roadster you posted.

by your own words that would mean the Z4 takes sales from the 4 series/M4. TT takes sales from the A5/S5/SR5 and ect.

look at it this way. back in 90s I just did not see people cross shopping between the MK4 Supra and SC300/400. one is a sports car while the other is a luxury coupe.
