However, the Cirrus is actually outselling Cessna and the wogs say it is
because of the chute aboard.

I suspect that is has more to do with the fact that the Cirrus is fast, and
new, and sorta sexy without being complicated to fly.

I suspect Cessna is going to start seriously looking at putting parachutes on
all of their single engine airplanes

You can already put a BRS on a 152 or 172 for a lot less money than it
would cost you to buy a new Cirrus, and Cessna BRS STCs ain't exactly flying
off of the shelves.
