Default Tprops in a Jet world

So I hate to be that guy but I've had a nagging question with the continuing rise of gas prices. Why are we seeing no new turboprops in the 50 seat market? I know there are a number of markets in the Saab where we are weight restricted with pax and if a 50 seat CRJ isn't economical, why is nobody seemingly pursuing this. I believe that there are markets where 34 seats is too little and 76 seat is too much, so why are we not seeing a resurgence and advancement of tprop technology in the 50 seat market?
