They will find a way to raise the price of new planes 10% per year no matter what. We need someone to address the high cost of general aviation aircraft, but it won’t come from Cessna. Over $300k for a new 172SP? No way sales are going up with prices like that.
Cessna is killing General Aviation.

Bad move, Textron: You are about to screw the pooch on this one and let the Chinese take over America’s small general aviaiton industry with their recent acquisition of Cirrus, which they WILL build out and use to stomp you into the ground.
