I don't recall anyone saying "new is bad" in this newsgroup or among
my pilot friends; however, some say "old is bad" which would be just
as unfounded. Just to make a point: The Cirrus is an excellent
airplane! It may not fit some pilots' requirements or typical mission
profiles. That doesn't make all other existing designs "bad".

Not many would. Those who would may like the better speed and the
availability of TKS anti-icing gear. Some people don't like side sticks - I
don't.

Nevertheless, Cirrus must be hurting Mooney's sales severely. Anyone
interested in a pool on how long Mooney's gonna last?

I don't know if what they're in right now could be described as
lasting. Seems to me they're in and out of bankruptcy.
