Could Challenger 6500 be coming
Bombardier has upgraded all its product line. Challenger 350 now is upgraded to Challenger 3500. Only product left is Challenger 650.
Global 5000/6000 was secretly re-engined using existing engine nacelles to Global 5500/6500. I think some tweak to wings were made.
Could Challenger 650 get same low cost re-engine and become Challenger 6500.
I am reading between the lines in this article.

She added: “But if you look at the entire business aviation spectrum, I think probably a little smaller is going to be the next opportunity,” she said, noting that this could be something akin to the size of a Bombardier Challenger 650

Makes sense, Challenger 650 has GE engines so a swap to smaller version of GE passport engine is possible. This could also explain some of the cash burn.
