They are. The SF50 combines the worst of turboprops (slow, low altitude, noisy cabin) and jets (type rating, runway usage, fuel burn).

Never said that, those are things others falsely made up. I've always said it can fly and can be certified, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

They certainly aren't selling outside of the Cirrus cult. There are a fair number of used ones for sale right now. 12 of them on controller.com, asking prices ~$2M. If the demand was high, that wouldn't be the case.
I think it will end up being a fiasco in the end, kind of similar to how an Eclipse is right now.
