The HondaJet has gotten provisional FAA certification as of now, so the full cert is imminent. It's fast for it's class, it's price competitive (about the same as a PC12) and has quite a bit of innovation. I happen to think it looks good too.

There's a good article about chief engineer Michimasa Fujino's 29-year struggle to convince the Honda board to build it, which they finally agreed to do. I hope it does well just for him. He deserves it.
