There are fewer cheap new cars on the market than ever, it seems, and the picture looks worse with the death of the Mitsubishi Mirage.

If you can’t afford a GT but really, really want a Mustang, the EcoBoost is a nice consolation prize. It used to be about style for the base cars and cheap speed for the more-powerful ponies.
