Already drove one. Didn't feel like a truck. Had the handling of my Cayenne Turbo, but not nearly as refined or powerful. Or not nearly as nice of an interior. Need I say more?

Your Jen2, in reality, is a pretty SUV (like my Cayenne Turbo) dressed up as a Raptor. But it's neither. It's a shame. It's a marketing gimmick by Ford to sell more street queens to princesses like you. Call me when you're selling your ***** pump to get a real V8.

Anyway, aren't you the one who just had his Jen2 cramp up on him recently?
Na that was a glitch from the JMS Boostmax. It's fine now.

If the Gen2 is only good for the street, then the Jen1 is really good for nothing .. it's okay to have an opinion, but your opinion is full of BS.

No not true. Any reviewer, any professional driver, and good driver or enthusiast will tell you the same thing. GEN2 is the big dog, until GEN3. Jen1 is back in the stable.

Have you ever driven any nice cars? Or do you now compare everything to the lord-and-saviour Jennifer? That would be a shame.

Hahaha? How is my opinion full of BS. Soft steering, light handling, feels like a pretty SUV. Like an RR, Cayenne, X5, F-Pace, Levante, GLS, G-class, etc. Yes, driven all. And the new Jennifer had a drive very much like one of these.

Do you know why Lotus continues to make sports cars without power steering? Because 'enthusiasts' continue to BUY them. The Raptor WAS an enthusiast's vehicle. Now it's just a pretty SUV dressed up as a truck. Fact. Live with it.

Well.. yeah. I have multiple cars, including a 2014 458 Spider, SLS, 458 Coupe which I recently sold, I even have a CTSV Wagon, but it's sort of a heap of junk. I also have a Cayenne GTS, and a Jeep Wrangler unlimited.. etc etc.

Yes I'm a car guy. When I was in Canada I had a 2006 Ford GT with all the options including stripes, 997 Turbo. I have been around the block.

My primary vehicle is the 2017 Raptor, because I love it..Much more than the 2011 I traded it for.

Every reviewer will tell you the same thing. LOL!! Yes, because if they don't, they'll be out of jobs. Do you NOT understand how the publishing business works? Actually, probably not. Do you know who else tells me its a GREAT ef'ing truck? The salesmen at Ford. Man, they tell me it's FAAAAR superior to my Raptor. Hell, they even tell me the Ford Edge has the 'edge' over my Cayenne Turbo. Maybe I should be listening to them.

I actually do know how the publishing business works, and what it takes to build a product that wins world class reviews and awards. You're wrong, they would not be out of jobs. They review products poorly too.

You can close your eyes and ears and keep telling yourself whatever makes you happy idc.

Then, my friend, I'm regretful to say that you seem to have buyer's remorse. I defend my new purchase just as rigorously as you are now, when I feel like I messed up.

The Jennifer is a great vehicle - don't get me wrong. It's just not a Raptor. It doesn't feel like a Raptor. It doesn't drive like a Raptor. It doesn't sound like a Raptor.

Sure, if your definition of "driving like a raptor" is driving that old sluggish gas guzzling heavy ass cumbersome jen1, then you're 100% correct bud. I agree wholeheartedly. I loved my 2011 when it came out. ... more power to you man.
