Because if you ran a flying school you would have people lining up to learn in it and to rent it. Be honest... faced with a clapped out 150 / 152 / PA28/ Skycatcher... wouldn't you?
Could be true.. BUT, they were planning to raise the price at 1000 planes ? But they can't seem to manage that level.. i think the descision to make the planes outside of the USA is because Cessna had more expectations on this plane and saw it didn't succeed... i can have no other explenation for the 1000 plane mark limit to make an urgency for people to order one, while you can't seem to get the 1000 mark. Why would you make a plane outside of the usa while the usdollar is still over-valued and dropped so big in value ?? Because you know it's no use to invest in a descent production line, that's what the order status remaining on 700 planes means. (i find 700 HUGE, but i'm pritty sure Cessna doesn't for their 162...)
