What do you think is the 5th gen's strongest selling point?
It's the expressive styling, of course. The LS3 is excellent, but it's been around long enough to have lost some of it's bling-bling.
The other two choices are non-players in gaining any sales. The handling is not a segment leader and the interior is generally unpopopular. These are opportunities for improvement.

Interior styling is meh IMO. I've sat in two and it was fairly comfortable but kind of appeared cheap.
Powertrain is good, but the car weighs too much. It runs 13.2-13.3 in a 400 horsepower car, the same quarter mile times GM was able to do in 1998-02 with a ~320 horsepower car.
I can't comment on handling as I haven't driven one, but I'd assume with it's weight and 20" wheels/low profile tires, it can't be great.
Exterior styling is the #1 factor for purchase, IMO. I'm sure it was the same for the 05+ Mustang as well.

I would think that exterior style is a stong selling point for most sporty/performance oriented cars.
I would rate the reasons to buy a;
2010 Camaro as 60% exterior style - 40% powertrain.
2011 Mustang GT 40% exterior style - 60% powertrain.
2010 Corvette 50% exterior style - 50% powertrain.
