a Buick convertible now they haven't brought a car like this to American showrooms in what 25 years and that was the Reata and nobody wants to talk about that this is the cascada it is a sibling to an Opel and Vauxhall model that are sold in Europe and the UK respectively but of course it's been Americanized very clearly the Buick interior were there styling cues and switchgear under the hood of a 1.6 liter turbo for good for 200 horsepower should be ample for this car but of course the big deal here is the fact that it's a cleanly executed convertible which by the way is also quick they say it'll cycle one way or the other in 17 seconds that's definitely below average for most cars so it'll do so up to 31 miles an hour as well which is be surprised on important nuance in convertibles now the question is volume and space if you look inside you'll see it's a 2+2 things get a little narrower in the back so we do not have three across seating the key here is to make sure this doesn't read into VW EOS category where it's too much of a one-note tune not utilitarian enough and not a good enough driver to be more than just a convertible fun car we'll see if we get one of these on the road with us how the packaging works up what kind of storage space it's got and what the ride and sport quality are like but this is definitely part of Buicks march to make you think otherwise about them here's a key reason for that only a third people who buy Buicks are under 55 compare that to 50% of people who buy Chrysler's and 60% who buy Acuras so the real mission here is up to drop the top but to drop the average age
