Soon to Be the Rarest Cessna Since the War?

The Cessna 162 "Skycatcher". It seems pretty clear that Cessna is going to kill off that model.
Cessna CEO Scott Ernest told aviation media at NBAA 2013 in Las Vegas the company's made-in-China S-LSA Skycatcher has "no future" but he didn't have much to say about it other than that. ... Ernest's comments after his presentation categorized the Skycatcher program simply. "That program didn't have a business model that worked," he said.
Cessna is also going to bump up the top speed of the Citation-X to Mach 0.935. Up at the top of the airplane's service ceiling, that's cooking along at 617 MPH (speed of sound up there is 660 MPH).

("Rarest" as in "production model". I'm not counting the Cessna 620.)

Such a little sweetie, too. But then again... made in China? Good riddance.

Dear Miss Fit:

I begin to feel that Scott Ernest is to Jack Pelton as Craig Fuller is to Phil Boyer. As a legacy Cessna curator/driver, everything he says makes me nervous.

Regards,

Frank
