How do the 182 and 185 differ?

The 185 has conventional gear, has either 260 or 300 hp, depending on the
year,
seats 6, can haul over 1600 pounds, and cruises at a bit over 165 mph.

The 182 is a trike, has 230 hp, seats 4, can haul about 1300 pounds, and
cruises
at a bit over 155 mph.


Isn't the 185 the predecessor of the 206?

Just done a search...

says
"The Cessna 185 aircraft is effectively the 'tail dragger' equivalent of a
Cessna 206, and should not be confused with the entirely different Cessna
182."
