Jay Leno - yes, that man with about 1,000 cars yet still wears the same blue shirt and Wrangler pants - is an authority when it comes to vehicles. While we don't always agree with some of the things he says about our favorite cars, we respect his opinions nonetheless. Well, at least for the most part.

In the latest installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the affable comedian makes no bones about his affection for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. Justifiably so, the 2011 Mustang GT is one sweet piece of machinery given that for just over $30,000, you can own a car with 412 ponies on it, not to mention a fuel economy of 26 mpg on the highway. Leno even takes the Mustang out for a little joy ride on the California highway. He goes about enjoying the whole ride and even mentions how it's got some German-like quality in it, which we imagine bodes well for a car that's looking to make a name for itself not just against its local counterparts, but against some of the world's best automotive machines.
