You think that will really kill Cirrus?


No, just getting your attention. But Cirrus will find themselves a
distant second within a couple years. You just can't beat an
established company with a great dealer network when your products are
similar.


I think the Cirrus SR22 competes well against the Columbia...er...
Cessna 350. The SR20 and Cessna 400 are on oposite ends of the
market, so they don't really compete head to head.

Where Cirrus has the advantage right now is in availability of
maintenance, training and insurance. It will take Cessna a while to
catch up. In the meantime, Cirrus will continue to sell aircraft at
an amazing pace.
