There'll always be something newer just around the corner. Right now, the '13MY is iminent and it'll bring a refreshed exterior and possibly a small power boost.
24mths later and we'll all be suffering from next-gen-itis.
BUT.........every single Mustang, when taken in isolation, can stand proud as a fine example of the breed.
My 2005 may not be as refined, powerful or (arguably) as good looking as a '12, but it still rocks my world. In a world where most cars look alike, the Mustang is one of the few that has the character to enthrall us and make it one of the family.
The Mustang legend will run and run. Be happy with whatever chapter you have in your garage, safe in the knowledge it's part of the legend.
None of this stops me wanting a 2013 model though

I love my car, and I don't live to drag race...
Luckily I've never had that need to one up everyone around me so I can really care less how much horsepower the guy next to me has lol there will always be something faster to come out the next year.
I'm glad I got what i wanted
I'm VERY happy with my baby and I won't be selling it ever.
^What's not to love? the new body style doesn't do it for me, not muscley enough.

My Vista Blue was purchased because I thought it was perfect for me.
I was not excited by the body style "improvements" in 2010.
I love the original S197.
I don't need the "fastest car", but I stumbled across a supercharged 2006.
Both cars have "old" engines.
It is doubtful my S/C engine will ever feel like it has a "middle-aged slump".
My Vista Blue is still perfect for ME.
I will be keeping it well beyond MY "middle-age" (which actually may be over already).
