New Planes from old companies

Okay, its getting boring so, here is a new twist on an old subject.

Beech and Cessna have recently seen HUGE increases in demand for aircraft
with the G1000 cockpits. Will this cause them to rethink the introduction
of a new piston design to compete with the new players?

If so, how long till you can buy one and fly it?

Cessna is simply putting the G1000 in their existing airplanes.

Although the model designations remain the same, the current line of piston
airplanes is in fact all new. The Cessna 182 has changed so much that it
barely resembles the Skylanes of old. It looks more like a Cardinal on
steroids.

Next year's 172 will have the G1000 and air bags.
