From that article, it sounds more like Cessna has no idea what they want to build, what they want to build it out of, and what they want it to do. Sounds more like the board of directors or someone else very high up said "Cirrus, Lancair, and the likes are screwing us, we need SOMETHING and we need it NOW."... and thats about where they're at now.
 
This month's Pro Pilot has a quickie article on it... It's gonna be a "Cirrus killer" with a high wing, and an entirely new fuselage.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a new T210...
 
My guess is we'll see the results of a one night stand between an Extra 400 and a Malibu with 4-6 seats. It will be all metal with just enough glass fairings to look curvy, and have a growth potential from a 6 cylinder unpressurized flavor to a PT-6 pressurized version.

PS. And no, it doesn't seem so strange to take the covers off at NBAA, that's what has been rumored in the media...
