The government has not reason to encourage the sale of Corvettes. While they're among the most efficient sports cars out there, in the grand scheme of things they're not all that efficient.
The US government has to pay people to buy hybrids and electrics because they want to import less oil, but they don't have the will to increase gas taxes (political suicide) or drill for more (a short term solution). This is also why they created the CAFE fuel economy standards.

"Pay" is incorrectly used here. That implies they own the money in question, whereas in reality the credit means they do not take $7500 in taxes.
