I think they look great and would love to have one. But rwy performance and short range probably hurt more than it should. Also, without really knowing at all and just speculating, I do think that getting in bed with Honda and their own engine, is probably a cheaper solution in the long run than being in bed with the Williams and the Pratt mafia. I very much doubt they'll charge the "captive audience" excesses that those two companies do. So might be cheaper long term ownership on these planes.

I live 30 miles from Greensboro where the plant is and know some of the people that work there. They are already designing the next model. I doubt they would be doing that if someone thought the 1st version wasn't selling well.

Honda is playing the game different

One can do all the preliminary analysis in the world, they still don't know what the market is until actually in it with a product. I would look at this as their entry product to get to the next levels.

I hope their next iteration is leaps and bounds better in every way. The current version will be cheap then and I'd love to grab one.

We wish that on every plane.

We wish that on every plane.

One might also conclude that might be the exact reason they are designing the next version
