New Cessna Single

Has anyone else seen the pictures of the Cessna Sigle prototype that made a pass over Oshkosh yesterday?

What do you think, could this be the Cirrus killer? A few interesting things to note are the wing, slight forward sweep, cantilever, and it looks rather small = fast! The fuselage looks real sleek and sculpted, rather like a glastar. Looks like they've done away with climbing into the seats by adding a door for each row, would be interesting to see the other side, I hope it looks the same!

Rumours indicate the engine is new too! Bombardier perhaps, or an as yet unannounced Lycoming?
If they get around to manufacturing this plane, Cirrus and the gang may get some serious competition.
