Why are you guys bagging on me? If any of you have $5-6 million to spend on a plane, I doubt it would be the Piaggio. I am not insulting the plane, I think it's time has come, just like the tragic starship was way ahead of it's time. Personaly I think it's a nice plane, that does more then any other turboprop out there, due to awesome design features that should be incorporated into most airplanes(canard/rear engine). It's just too expensive. For those that have never flown corporate jets AND corporate turboprops, much less managed and maintained them, much less actualy been sent out with a budget and a mission to accomplish carrying X amount of people, over X amount of distances and trips, over X amount of time...then I think your just talking for the sake of talking. Right now the Piaggio is overpriced for the efficiency return.
