Default Citation XLS

Does anyone know when the first XLS is to be delivered if it hasn't already?

I was blown away by the interior/cockpit of the Sov. While its basically the same size interior wise as our III it looks so much larger and more elegant. I loved it.

When I first was looking at them, I thought the cockpit would be similar to the CJ3 or X, but looks very different.

The Sovereign is much larger. About 13 feet longer. Very interesting how they designed it; much different from the X. No hyraulic controls or leading edge devices among other things and in turn a much less complicated aircraft.

Yeah i know that its longer but overall the interior just looks wider as well since the interior is so well designed.
