Actually, I would argue that you see a lot more 'strictly by the numbers' arguments than the opposite.
Really? You've got a gift for extrapolating things from the op's initial post I missed.
Usually it's all of those things and more, for reasons which I would argue are obvious.
Sure have, by chance do you own one?
I'll agree, because you apparently value performance above all else and as such diminish major flaws with the C6 in the process. Unless the Corvette really trips their switch for reasons that cannot be quantified (fascination with the name, etc) I don't imagine a lot of folks are going to be clamoring for a car with the truly major shortcomings the C6 currently lives with compared to other new cars, even cars of the same ilk. (a base Boxster is a virtual palace inside compared to any C6) Of course, the fact that sales numbers tell exactly that same story doesn't hurt.

I have read this thread, I aggree and disagree, I have been going to open track days for the past 7 years. There are short comings for the C6, but it is not as Dreadful as you are describing it. The last vette I drove on the track was the 08 MY(when the ls3 cameout and the steering was recalibrated), compared to the 2006 vette the steering fell was good, i honestly don't see anyone complaining about it. The interior is its only major shortcoming IMVHO. The seats absolutely need more lateral support, And I hope for the C7 GM gets rid of the leaf springs and use adjustable coilovers.
Also the base Porche boxster is a complete turtle for the price point, remeber people buy 2 seat performance cars for PERFORMANCE 1st. No, that does not mean creature comfort does not matter, but I bet that is the number one reason people will buy a vette over a base porche boxster not for "reasons that cannot be quantified" Just sayin.
