Christ people, read. Its a LSA. Its supposed to be tiny.

Really? I would have thought that when it was finished it came out small, even though they intended it to be much larger.
 
The high prices for aircraft these days will eventually be the death knell for general aviation. $80K to the moon for a two seat LSA from any number of manufacturers? That's insane.

But they are still selling a ton of them. I was at PWK a few weeks ago, and that place is loaded with 400K Cirrus and 600K Columbia 400's.

I think you guys are talking about two different airplanes.

Cessna brought an LSA proof of concept vehicle to display, and a next generation single engine prototype did a few low passes.

Here are some better photos of the NGPA (the non-LSA airplane) during its flyover.

Looks like their LSA is also getting pretty good coverage in avweb.com and aero-news.net.

That's my understanding. It is shown more clearly in the photos I posted above. The LSA has a strutted wing. The above photos show that the "heavy" airplane doesn't have a strutted wing, and has doors for a rear seat, so they must be two separate airplanes.
