Ironically you can take it a step further and ask if the Mustang would have existed if not for Toyota and Datsun that were starting to import small economical cars in the early 60s.
Many don't seem to understand that the original Mustang was primarily meant to be a cheap, throw away, economy car intended to combat the rising imports (and it worked for a while). The performance versions were pretty scarce at first.
