Hard to tell, people speculate that they will go for complete redesign (like 80% new) for 2014. As it trends, they keep the same body for around 5 years. I would imagine them keeping the 2013 model again for 2014 because it = more money but redesign much draw in more customers,... who knows?
I vote to keep it for another 1-2 years

I voted yes, not because I want a new model but because there is a good chance it is going to happen. To me the S197 has been the best looking mustang since the early 70s. All good things come to an end sometime though, I just hope it doesn't look stupid come 2014.

I love the s197s, but I'm excited to see what else Ford comes out with.
Knowing them they are going to screw it up for about 10 years then come out with another good Mustang.
Edit: I do think they should stick with a slightly retro theme though.
It has done very well for them.

It is time for something new, and Ford I think is going to change a lot on the 2015MY. You can't stick with the same *more or less* design for too long before you saturate the market of buyers who want that car. Retro has had its run and its time to try something new and more futuristic if you ask me.
