There have been quite a few rumors going around about Piper.
The company has just been sold from one investor to the next at the same time that it reported sales being down by some 50% in the first quarter:

Piper Aircraft sales fall 49 percent in first quarter (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/business/content/business/epaper/2009/05/05/0505piper.html)
Also an interesting article appeared about the company where some more insight is given in their views on the market.
All GA manufacturers are struggling but i guess it is important to us all that companies like Cessna and Piper survive and continue to develop.
