It look like a CJ, so I'm guessing its an updated 4.
Probably Garmin Avionics and ... How many GPS antennas on top? The Fusion panel, is still only one single GPS, isn't it?
Here’s the link from the email.

Oh that's definitely a CJ4. Look at the windshield frame. (0:18 in the video)

Well if you look at the ground breaking innovations that Textron put in the King Air 360 this new Citation will probably have the light up step, USB ports, and iPhone holders. Most people will think well that's dumb. But Textron will call in Innovative.

Be nice to get an updated M2, maybe auto throttle and some other improvements to seperate itself from the SETP"s with them, the VJ with them, etc. You know, lesser planes with better technology. posting.php?mode=reply&f=49&t=192341#

They went with a much better name then plus. The CJ4 Gen 2.

Is this the best they can do? Kept Pro-Line, they felt this would drive more sales?

it has skylights like the Honda! I guess those require some engineering to design and install.
