I think somebody bought the leftovers of Eclipse, so not sure if it's completely done.

I voted that I'd buy one, but if I really wanted a great personal airplane, I'd probably buy the Cessna. Dealer support around the world, very very experienced builder, proven design, already several generations of design along.

Don't know enough about a Honda or Cirrus to comment on them, plus they're both going to be new, meaning not ready for prime time.

And the Cessna has two engines the Cirrus does not. Flying at night over rough terrain in any single gives me the willy's.

I think the Diamond and Piper will be worthy competitors, but both are also single engine. Only the Embraer, Cessna and Honda are twins.
