Let me gently challenge that statement … I agree that I didn't cross shop current Corvette with the G29, but I can tell you that I did look (and almost ordered) a Corvette once my E89 lease was up. I ended up waiting for a G29 for a variety of reasons (but had I known back then how long I was going to wait for it, I probably would have bought one of the two, leaning towards Corvette).
Also, looking at the 2020 Corvette, I will be tempted to trade in my G29 - and would be cross shopping the convertible hardtop 2020 Corvette with the G29 had I waited another year with purchasing the G29.
I am hoping that BMW does more than just a cosmetic LCI refresh of the G29. If not and especially if it turns out that there will be no immediate successor (as everybody seems to indicate right now) once production stops, I am sure I will take a very close look at a convertible hard top Corvette sooner rather than later.
