They usually update the iPod line in September-October. I see no reason to update the iPod Classic..it's the last hard drive based iPod Apple makes. Most of the iPod's have the same sound quality- you're better off buying a new pair of headphones versus the white ones that come with the iPod's.

I believe if they make any significant changes it would be the 7th Generation of the HDD based iPod, the current classic is, IIRC, the 6th Generation.

I suspect Apple will keep these in production until they can be replaced by a Flash memory based iPod Touch. Even though Flash prices are falling, they still can't offer a Flash based iPod with the same capacity as the Classic, but that will change in the next few years.
