I watched this last night on the news. This thing is sweet and is being made in my home state! Can't wait to get a ride on this baby.

I do like the Cirrus much more than the other VLJs that have come out.

Neat design, but ugly ugly ugly.

The inside looked really nice. I guess the color on the outside is ugly and could be better.

I thought it looked good for its small size. You gotta remember, a jet engine is long by design. The Jet is small, so the engine has to be mounted where it is to even have a cabin. Sure, The Jet looks a little stubby, but you won't notice it in the air from the left seat...

Neat. But does that use a stick like the C-17's, airbus's, and Fighters? or what, the guy mentioned that it is less bulky with out the yoke, but they never showed what it was using.

I'm betting it has a side stick much like the rest of the Cirrus fleet.
