She has a family resemblance, that's for sure. And she does look more refined than the proof of concept plane did. Personnaly, I prefer the red and gold they used on the proof of concept plane, but I think this is to get peoples attention.
Things I noticed, she is set up for day and night VFR. Cessna seems to be targetting this towards the Private Pilots as well as the sport pilots (who can't fly at night). Her weight is about the same as the Legend and Sport Cubs. Another US made airvcraft the AMD/Zenith Zodic starts at $79,900, but if you start to gussy it up the price keeps rising.
Plus, the Skycathcher looks GOOD. She's got simple and elegant lines. She looks modern, yet retains the traits of her older sisters. Cessna is supposedly using a different contruction technique, learned it from Van, and that is one way they hoped to keep costs down. And it is 44 inches wide inside. I don't think it will climb like a 150/150, but 850 fpm at sea level is still respectable.
