Its possible that during this period of time Ford offered heavy incentives on the Mustang to help it sell better. However the Mustang being cheaper seems to be a complete myth.
As far as the 2011 Mustang being one large vehicle its the same exact size as the 2010 model year.

Re: Pricing
I bought 5 Camaros in the '80s so I am going off what was my experience.
'83 Z28 Camaro = $10,750 + $505 for 5.0L H.O. option
'83 Mustang GT 5.0= $9,445.
An almost $2K difference.
My '84 H.O. Z28 was over $13K with no ttops, auto trans, power seats, etc.
My '87 IROC was OVER $16K with no ttops, auto,cruise, tilt, power windows/seats,etc.etc.
ford also stuck with 4 cylinder availabilty much longer than Camaro did, making the entry level models even cheaper.
The "one large vehicle" comment was directed toward the Chally not the Mustang.
