RIP Cirrus

If this had happened 2 or 3 years ago I would agree but not now. Cirrus has
established themselves very well in the marketplace and there are enough of
their planes out that now to overcome the long term name of Cessna.

Where does Cirrus build its aircraft?

Duluth, Minnesota.

Piper has opted out of the GA piston market, for the most part. I've
talked to the Piper sales guys at some of the major fly-ins. Even they're not
expecting that a lot of people will be buying what is essentially a 40 yr.
old design with a glass panel in the mid $300K range. They seem to be
pinning their future on the light jet market.

Why ask me, you won't believe it anyway.

I thought Cirrus's business model was to sell direct.

Cirrus isn't established?

Compared to Cessna they have no dealer network.- Hide quoted text -

I've found a great deal of overlap. Iowa City's FBO, Jet Air, for
example, is a Cessna AND Cirrus dealer.

plane the is the goner is the NGP. No reason for it anymore.



What are the insurance rates for the Columbias? I know the Cirrus is about 2x the C-182...

Why? You'll never fly one.

Maybe not, but the people they have seem a lot more motivated.

There's no Cirrus dealer here, but they still come to town & put on demo's,
and they advertise in the regional aviation rags with offers of demo
flights.

I never see any of that kind of stuff from Cessna.


As an owner I could not possibly care less that my manufacturer goes out
and does demos. I want availability of service and I want parts in
stock. I also want shops that don't have to phone the home office just
to get the cowl off.

Yep and major subassemblies made in a foreign country, Scandinavia. Er,
North Dakota. Whatever.

I just read somewhere they sold something like 8 Archers all of 2007.
In other words they are dead.
