I'm just tying to think of all the cars out in the market now that weigh around 3100lbs, and think in my mind about how small they are compared to the mustang.

I believe the latter is true. They will shrink the car, which I think they will have to do if they want to sell it globally. 12-15" sounds about right, since the current Mustang is a huge boat and needs some downsizing anyway.
Also, increasing the use of high strength steel/ultra-high strength steel can the lower the weight and not raise the cost very much.
