Six seat aircraft?

What are the current 6-seat single engine aircraft in production?

I can think of the Cessna 206, the newly re-minted Cherokee Six, and the
Beech Bonanza (well, it's sort of a 6-seater...).

Are there any others?

Are there any experimental 6-seaters? I wonder if Cirrus is aiming to
release one?

There's a six seat experimental from AeroComp called the Comp Air 6. Looks
interesting. Saw a few at Oshkosh this year.

Are you upgrading your hotel's courtesey transportation?

The A-36 Bonanza is definately a 6-seater.

The Saratoga. Well, I guess it's a retractable Cherokee Six...
Piper Malibu Mirage. Piper Meridian.
The TBM-700. The Cessna 208 Caravan (OK, it's an 8-seater). The PC-12.
The Lake LA-270. You could probably put 6 in a turbine Maule.

(Guess what I did at Oshkosh '03? Well, besides bailing the tent...)

Isn't the Murphy Moose a 6-seater? How about that Lionheart biplane?

Not sure, but the rumoer is that new "DeHavilland" Beavers are going to be
produced by the Beaver Aircraft Co. in the near future!

Five. And one needs to be a midget.

Brute force has an elegance all its own.

I am helping a friend build the Moose and it is 6 seater. He is putting
the radial engine on it. We have been at it since Nov of 2002.

It's one of those 80% done with 80% to go. No web pictures. We are at
the point of doing all the controls. The aircraft is on wheels. But
there is a lot more to do. This started as a quick build, ha.

I've seen this one in person a few months ago. Really makes me wish I
had the money to build one myself, even if it is a high-wing ;-)

Ya'll were building the seats the day I was there. I think the
fuselage and tail structures were all complete, but I don't think the
wings were hung on it yet, and firewall-forward was still completely
missing.

Actually, the Caravan has eight passenger seats and two pilot seats. If not
flown in the US, the Caravan can have two more seats.
