It's a totally lame airplane. I don't know why anyone would buy one. Any chance of getting the model for Honda Jet specs?

That was exactly my thinking. Get an airframe that's certified and being produced and will be supported for the foreseeable future instead of betting on another Eclipse fiasco.
