Are the new Skyscrapers going to now make lawn darts out of the SLSA imports like the SP plan did to the UL business?

Seemed before the convention AOPA, of which I am a member, wanted little to do with Sport Pilot and the craft that qualified. Now the new 162 is out with their complete support inferring that only the wings were made in China. Looks like Cessna has done everything just right and might just collapse the foreign market here with the 162 offering. Hard to beat partial glass cockpit and style, Continental engine and not made out of plastic or aluminum tubes and fabric like Ultralights. At a price lower than the competition at $111,000.

 

How do you think this will turn out? Very interesting I would think.
