The other coupes on the market, such as the excellent 86 and some hot hatches, are let down by a back seat only suitable for someone with no legs and a boot capacity of a couple of tins of baked beans.

The Mustang should be marketed as a viable alternative good sized family car...just one that happens to have two doors.
If it's anything like the Falcon however, they'll totally misread the market and shoot themselves in the foot by failing to promote the Ecoboost model and instead just try and cater to the vanishingly small number of buyers who want a V8 these days.
They should be saying to people "Hey...you can have something that looks like this, but you've got four cylinder rego, running costs and economy! Win/win!".

But they won't.

Not sure about this. I hire a mustang every trip I make to the states and its always the same problem. With my seat in a comfortable position (I'm 6'2"), there is zero chance of anyone sitting behind me, not even a kid! Unless the 4 adults are under 5'7", I cant see 4 adults ever fitting in this car.
