How are you so sure that an ecoboost 4 would be more expensive than the v6 option they would offer? The cars you are referring to for which the Ecoboost is an added cost vs the v6 use the 3.5l duratec which is significantly older, less efficient and less expensive than the 3.7l duratec that is the base engine in the Mustang. The only car with both the 3.7 and 2.0t is the Edge and the 2.0t model is cheaper. They are different trim levels, so it isn't a direct drivetrain comparison, but it's still the only 3.7 vs 2.0t.
