Cessna 400 -zero sales... why?

US AOPA mag, July 2011:

Cessna had no deliveried of the 350 Corvalis last year or this year, and no deliveries of the 400 Corvalis TT compared to one in the first quarter of 2010.

Whatever you might think of the idea of building a 350HP 200kt+ 25000ft-ceiling piston single with fixed gear and trying to sell it for the best part of $800k these extremely poor figures are very suprising.

Cessna must have done something very recently to really kill the sales.

Even I have flown in a C400, 2-3 years ago.
