FWIW department
Don't flame me please.
Mooney has announced a new go fast and high machine. Almost as fast as the Colombia 400i but on 40 less horse power. 
www.mooney.com IF, ahem, anyone is interested.

It looks like a very nice airplane. But at $450,000, I think it'll remain a desktop wallpaper.

Actually - even if I was willing to spend that sort of money on a plane, it's still not for me.
I'm never going certified again. The hassles of uneven/expensive work by mechanics would probably be the main reason. I also really hate that I can't make hardly any change to my plane without an STC.
I'm loving flying my RV, but I think in a couple of winters I'm definitely going to be starting on another.

Besides all that , they put the tail on backwards. Seriously though, Mooneys are a nice airplane but anything factory is too expensive for me.

Interesting that they still are selling the Bravo as well, I don't quite get that... And that is a LOT of weight on that poor nosewheel, the Lycoming in the Bravo should be a lighter engine. It is a screamer though.

Capability versus price
Where did you see the price? Only, gulp, $450k? The top of the line Cirrus SR22-GTS model is also 450,000.

I don't even want to think about what a new Bonanza costs now.
I'm still glad somebody has a business/income that can support aircraft manufacturers and service providers. Its just not me.
