Tecnam Introduces Diesel P2010 TDI - AVweb

If we look at a little closer, this is really more than a Cessna 172 and not quite a 182 aircraft. You can put 4 people in and still go somewhere, you can’t do that in a 172. The 172 will lose out in every way to this aircraft (service and parts out of the equation). If I had the money to spend there is NO WAY I would purchase a 172. The 172 in my opinion is NOT the greatest aircraft of all time as some people tend to suggest. Pilots (let’s call them customers) aren’t always right. I owned a 172 because that’s what everyone recommended and then I flew a Tiger for the first time. The 172 went for sale the next day. It’s time the world moved on… Pleeease lets get some progress in aviation!!!
