But the market was not so good for a two door legacy car, (not that now is much better, but I hear the Challenger is doing ok) so they found a market they wanted and put a name on it.

Challenger is true to it's roots. It is fat, like most mopars then and now.

But the v6 car is comparable to the other two. However, and this also applies across most of the modern history of all three of these cars, mustang always prices in lower entry and markets to a different audience than the other two. That's why Fbody died. They were aimed at a higher target and mustang just outsold them in volume on lower end units. And let's be honest, someone buying a v6 version of any of these is not the reason these are being built. It helps on the CAFE standards though.
