Buick Convertible Coming-Buick Cascada

[Flyn]

Buick announced the first convertible for their line in decades. Based on a European Opel design, it's aimed at younger buyers. Pricing to be announced later. Some of these pics are the Opel Cascada but the Buick should be similar.

It’s been 25 years, but Buick is finally dropping its top again.

The 2016 Cascada is the company’s first convertible since the 1991 Reatta.

The slick-looking 2+2 is a reboot of a model from General Motors’ Opel division that’s already on sale in Europe, but updated for the United States.

It’s powered by a small, but potent 200 hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission, and features 2+2 seating. A soft-top roof design allows it to have a large trunk for a convertible, whether the roof is up or down, and can be opened at speeds up to 31 mph. The rear seatbacks can also be folded down to create a cargo shelf.

I can see a lot of Seniors buying these things here in Florida and selling them in a few years for greatly reduced prices. Then the kids will get them.

It's just plain Jane looking but it's a convertible and a Buick.

Oh look another example of why GM should have kept Pontiac over Buick. What is this going to compete with that's not driven by middle aged women? They keep trying to 'appeal to younger buyers', yet keep on producing FWD geriatric retirement cruisers such as this.

Nice Sebring.
Should be a hit for Avis and Hertz.

with the 200 convertable and solara out, this could fill a small market.

Well this looks like it will be as popular as Kate Upton in a gay bar.

Very little is known about the Buick Cascada and its engine options. In Germany and other European markets, the car is offered with a range of engines, however the 197 horsepower 1.6-liter gasoline option seems to be the most likely candidate for the North American car. The car also starts at 26,320 euros ($31,268 USD) in Germany, which may also represent its North American price point.

Tack on a $30K+ price and it's even less popular.

Agreed.

Buick is selling pretty good lately. And as posted already, it fills a market where the Sebring and Solara left. And GM could sell very little and still make a profit IMO since it's an existing platform.

ford drops gt350r, new ford gt, and raptor.

gm shows up with a buick convertible, a buick suv, and a fucking abomination of an electric car.

I think there are people who want a front wheel drive, full sized convertible but without a hard-top so that they can have a decent sized trunk and use the car every day. There arn't a lot of companies making a car like that. I think this could be a hit.

I'd never buy this in a million years, but most 50 and 60 year olds don't give a shit.
