Any guess is a shot in the dark, this car just came out and hasn't even made it a full model year yet. It's hard to say what changed we'll see with the current car let alone a complete new generation. Cars in this segment tend to run longer then others on the same plat form. A good example of that would be the Mustang, compare it to say a Camry or some other bread and butter product.

Using previous generations is not sane reasoning. Just because they did it in the past does not make it a good idea. Times are different now.
Problem is the CAFE is going to rise. GM needs a lighter platform.
They can drop displacement, cylinders, add Turbos ect and get better mileage and maintain performance.
Plus I do think they made a big mistake--the visibility is awful. A big turn off to most women. I bet that will be fixed in a 6th gen.
I'd say 2016

If we do get a 6th gen, I think we'll see it around 2017-2018 for the 2018/2019 model year. There's no way they can go that long without a new model. They'll do a refresh/facelift with minor changes maybe, then a few years after that sales will start to drop, and they'll have to come out with the next gen. Once Ford comes out with their 5.0 Coyote and 6-speed Mustang GT, it's going to be one hell of a close pony car race. Give or take a year or two, 2014 is going to bring about a whole new Mustang, faster, better handling with an improved interior, just better all-around.
The 2010 Camaro SS had an edge on the 2005 Mustang GT, but with the 2010 Mustang GT with the Track Pack, the main edge the Camaro SS has is with ride/handling over uneven surfaces.

I don't think you'll see a 6th gen until like 2018 at least and that's considering the Chevy & GM gets turned around. 2014 or 2015 will be a rear fascia & front fascia update like the 2010 Mustang got. I also think that the next Mustang will just be an updated version on the same body. I don't think Ford can out do the design of the 05-present Mustang. The design of both cars are going to be tough acts to follow. I do think that Bumblebee from the 1st Transformers movie has made the Camaro a household name like the Stang. 50k plus unit's already sold compared to the Mustang's 32k and much less than that for the Challenger. The Camaro's 2010 model year runs at least until April if not Sept next year so I bet on 75k units at least when it's said and done for the 2010 model year.
BOSS APPROVED!
