This brought to mind another video I’ve seen on YouTube, wherein a Ford F-150 drives away after being involved in a dealership fire. Click past the jump for Chevrolet’s ad and the F-150 video I found.

So, I’ve already shown pictures and gone through the big changes for the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500, and now it’s time to delve into its more mass-market brother, the Mustang (and Mustang GT). With a refresh in 2010 and new engines for the 2011 model year, the Mustang isn’t due for another big redesign until 2015. Until then, a few minor modifications will have to suffice.

We may be nearing the end of the model year, but there’s still time to pick up a 2011 model-year vehicle. With that in mind, I recently got my hands on a 2011 GMC Sierra, and with very few changes expected for the 2012 model year, it’s safe to say that my mostly positive experience will be carried into next year as well. With that in mind, read on for my review of GM’s “Professional Grade” half-ton pickup.
