Ford introduced a redesigned 2005 model year Mustang at the 2004 North American International Auto Show, codenamed "S-197," that was based on the new D2C platform. Developed under the direction of Chief Engineer Hau Thai-Tang and exterior styling designer Sid Ramnarace,[51] the fifth-generation Mustang's styling echoes the fastback Mustang models of the late-1960s. Ford's senior vice president of design, J Mays, called it "retro-futurism." The fifth-generation Mustang is manufactured at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.

Quoted from Wiki.
Now moving to the next gen mustang...it is an evolution, not revolution. Still holds the "retro-futurism" design cues.

I read somewhere early on that Ford was moving away from that design.

To quote Agatha, "DO YOU SEE?"
