If you were gonna get a VLJ, there's far better options out there :P

The V tail is somewhat reminiscent of the Bonanza, and drop dead gorgeous IMO - Should be more of them about! Seems to have a fair amount of washout, judging by the pics (mind you, I was looking at a Saab Safir a while back, and that has a huge amount of washout in the tail fin!)

A very much welcome change from the dreary "mini airliner" Citations etc.

Looks interesting, to say the least, the interior looks roomy at least. :)

You beat me to it - I was going to post a link of this but didn't get around to it.

Yep wouldn't mind one of these 21st century V-35 Bonanzas myself - suppose to be just under $1m (US) which will make it about 50% cheaper than the Eclipse - although the Eclipse has two engines and is more of a cabin class a/c.

There is an interesting article of Light Jets & the Citation Mustang in the latest Air International - there are heaps of Light Jet & personal Jet designs out there - whether they all make it is another storey.

I verymuch doubt it will stay under 1m us, the eclipse was origionally $800,000 and that was one of their biggest selling points, a private jet for under a million. They also recon the eclipse costs less to run per mile than a cessna 182.

Only $1m? What's its range? Seems like a bloody fantastic offer to me! It's just like a family car

Lol! But don't you agree? In context it is actually very cheap! And does anybody actually know its range?

The website claims at least 1000nm, but probably more. ;)
