I didn't know until now that the 162 was built in China. They lost me as a customer.
-
Hard to believe this video is still up. Does Cessna enjoy being embarrassed?
-
CHINA? CHINA? Made in CHINA?
-
From a great topic about LSA to, When will they ever learn? Not everything is about Profit Now she's gone. Was it about the plane? Or was it about national pride and freedom which is why we love LSA.
-
Because of Americans don't care about where their cars are made, I don't see how Cessnas being made by foreign labor is an issue. The American people have eliminated over 1/2 a million auto workers jobs. If Cessna never makes an affordable plane, they will never have me for a customer.

This plane never had a chance to sucess. Way to expensive to competetive LSA Planes, quality was not that good, the yoke is stupid, nobody wants it like that, so as we expectetd, now the plane is of the market. And we felt fooled with production in china(which is not negative), but then the pricing of Cessna compared to the lower production costs. The market did not accept this way of marketing.

People will probably say I'm saying this because I'm Asian, but being born and raised here in the U.S., I'm not sure why there's all this hate about Chinese products nowadays in 2016. American made products break just as much as Chinese ones and cost 3x more.

just picked up a zodiac 601 xlb with a 140 hp tri blade graphite prop. Realistically a good solo with overnight bag airplane.
-
way too expensive, after all, it is still only an lsa. Also they should have used the normal yoke, they had enough room
-
Lost me at China...smh

This goes really in depth into the Cessna supply chain. I know there are a lot of pilots out there disappointed by the lack of actual FLYING in this, but great business video.
-
Man, people really hate China. I like the 162.
-
Bring back the 152II instead of this stubby short ugly wing garbage.....WTF
-
China...who knew?Well, at least now I know I won't be buying a Cessna.
-
CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!?? KEEP DREAMING!! CESSNA IS DEAD!!
-
ridiculous there are a hundred other like sports made in this country that I would consider before spending a dime with anyone dragging more of our manufacturing capacity to China Cessna should be ashamed of themselves

5:20 ,, Cessna will eventually learn ,,, In China Honda makes scooters and motorcycles by day and the Chinese plant owner re-opens at night and builds the same exact bikes with the same parts ordered from the same suppliers and slaps their own name on the side .. sells it for half or less.... AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT WITHIN CHINESE LAW...

hey its oz here whats gone wrong with our yanky mates Sad day to see cessna succumb to the chinese-- You yanks have to stop that before its to late

Cessna has a great aircraft building history here in the United States.. It's really too bad they've decided to build this plane in China.. I wouldn't even consider giving the 162 a second thought after having purchased so many crappy Chinese made products.. Every time an American company allows some Chinese outfit to produce their products the quality suffers greatly.. These two could talk until they were blue in the face but would never be able to convince me that a Chinese made 162 would ever compare to one made here in the United States by American laborers.. I've always trusted the name Cessna but no longer.. Very sad times we're living in today..
