No, it's slightly smaller than a C152. The new top model Cessna 172SP goes for $241,000 right now. I would guess this new light sport Cessna will be around $100k - $180k range.

I could definitely see flight schools using it for primary and (if it is instrument certified) instrument training. It's going to be alot cheaper to operate than 172's, Warriors, etc... Good for the flight school and good for the renters.

Cessna's CEO does keep hinting at the fact that the 172, 182, and 206 lines are going to be stopped and replaced. I can't wait to see what they replace them with. Interesting times!

For some reason it looks like a Cirrus with a high wing... Other than that it doesnt look any different! Way to go Cessna with making an a/c to compete with Cirrus! Wait, didnt they just make another Cirrus? BAH!
