Mark my words - the Tecnam P2006 is going to sell like chocolates in a kid store.
Just ask yourself if you wanted to go and get an ME rating tomorrow, what would you prefer? A 35 year old clapped out Duchess or the Tecnam? Exactly. It's going to be the twin for the training market in the near future. It's also the first high wing twin in ages to come along, so all the relief and missionary outfits will most certainly be interested in it. I'm sure coast guards, fire services, law enforcement will too. Anyone who needs to get in to small fields or have a view other than of the sky only will be coming for it.
Also, Tecnam wanted to certify it with diesels, but Thielert went south. As soon as they can find a new diesel I'm sure they will try again. And when they do, it's going to sell even more.
BTW, it just got its FAA certification this week, so expect the US demand to ramp up.
