The R8 looks like a Lamborghini Jalpa crossbred with an Austin Princess and I absolutely fuckin' love it.

It takes some money to buy a new Corvette, it is relatively cheap but still not cheap.
Which means older people are more likely to have the money.
Also the Corvette is not supposed to be too refined. It is supposed to have a bit of a unrefined nature.

Maybe I could have one as a second fun car for autocrossing, it'd have to be a hell of a good deal. Maybe when the C7 gets cheap on the second hand market.
However, here's one question? Why get one over a Camaro SS? Especially now, aside from special versions, what's the differences between a base Corvette and a V8 Camaro SS (base Camaros have the V6 and turbo i4). What are the real differences.
At Ford, you just have the Mustang as its performance work horse. There used to be the Thunderbird and GT, but those evolved differently and the most recent GT is a rare exotic.
At Dodge, it's the Challenger and Charger. There was the Viper, but that's dead.

Actually the Viper shall live again.
I think Ford should bring back the T Bird, but this time based on the gen 2, and basically have it be a prettier mustang, which addresses the volume issue and also appeals to those who think the Mustang does not match their personality.
You make a valid point about the high end Camaros and Vettes overlapping.
Though the mid engine Vette should resolve this.
Still the Corvette is lighter and lower, so even with the same engine it still will be a better performer, especially on the turns.

It make sense for trucks and what an engine needs to do, low reving engines are ideal.
Is hydrogen the future? Maybe.
