Another, I'm wondering how this will affect the mentality of the buyer market, knowing that this aircraft is no longer "Made in the U.S." The lead paint thing could be more true than we think, sadly enough.
The plane is a little over the 100K mark. So, lets face it the guys that are driving BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus are still really the target market. I don't think these guys really care all that much about buying U.S.

Unfortunantly, most people care about one thing: PRICE. That is really one of the only reasons why people initially placed orders for an Eclipse. Look at Wal-mart.
