It is sad as you have to believe that a company with Cessna's resources
could design a might fine composite airplane. However, I'll also bet it
is the lawyers and not the engineers that are in the way. The liability
of a new design with new materials would be enormous and Cessna has a
lot to loss unlike Cirrus and the other upstarts.

I also think Cessna won't remain long in the SE market. They make more
on the jets and have a lot less liability per dollar with them as well.
