A lot of Americans (very few others) are still paying the equiv. of GBP 150k for a new 1950's Cessna albeit with some modern stuff in the panel.
However Cirrus are cleaning up the market and it is only a matter of time before Cessna sales dry up - except for specific missions requiring short/soft strips for example.
What amazes me is how long it has taken them. And Piper haven't got the message yet - I bet their European annual PA28 sales can be counted on one's fingers. Reminds me of Norton, BSA.... It shows how extremely conservative the U.S. GA market is, allowing these dinosaurs to go on for so long.
