Just heard on a local radio station (101.1 WRIF) in Detroit, MI that there will be no redone mustang for at least another 5 years. The DJ said that Ford 'was so confident in their design of the new muscle car that they did not feel the need for a redesign for another 5 years'

What is meant by this is that there is no major exterior or chassis facelifts. There are still going to be minor facelifts, and the SVT and S/E cars as planned.
The forecasted timeframe for a major facelift (new exterior metal), complete new interior, and possible chassis revisions is tenatively scheduled for 2011 model year.

That has been the trend with the SN95 Mustang
94-98 was first one, lasted 5 model years
99-04 lasted 6 Model years
They can do enough small changes to keep the car fresh, things like grille, mirrors, wheels, different spoilers can be changed every year at a small cost.

Nothing surprising....
5 years is alright.
I'm sure if need be...they can always change minor things. But the overall car will be good enough to keep for multiple years

5 years is perfect for me, then depending on the look of its replacement it may be time for a trade in. I think the ones being released right now should have something next years model will not have since it is the 40th anniversary.
