		The XLR will be built alongside the next-generation 'Vette, but don't think of it as a gussied-up Corvette, rather think of the next 'Vette as a slightly more aggressive XLR.

		The transmission is mounted back near the rear-wheel drive differential, which helps the XLR attain a nearly ideal 50-50 weight balance for precise handling.
