Looks beautiful....as usual.

That Cirrus G5 is soooo last year!

To be the cynic, sounds more like Garmin innovated and Cirrus ordered the new parts.

Knock $50k+ off the value of the entire G5 fleet.

Agreed, but they did add the wingtip lights! That has to be worth a new model and the price increase! :bugeye:

I dunno--

The Yaw Damper engages/disengages automatically and the wigwag lights are automated based on height AGL. It isn't rocket science or all too earth shattering or perhaps even "necessary" but compared to what Textron is doing, I'd call it innovation.

From AOPA Aviation eBrief:

"Garmin's G1000 NXi, successor to the G1000 integrated flight deck, made its debut this week as part of Textron Aviation's piston product line. The avionics system will be available on the Cessna Skyhawk 172, Skylane 182 and Turbo Stationair HD T206, as well as on the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58."

Also in the press release, the SR20 G6 is switching to a Lycoming IO-390. That's an interesting move. 4 cyl Lycomings have always gotten a lot of love.
