All you need is a sweater tied around your neck, some golf clubs in the trunk, a bottle of Flowmax in the glovebox, you are in full BOOMER MODE!!

Opel Cascada with Buick badge.

Zack : "up front is a 1.6....." Me: " ugggh"

That truck rolled coal on you at 2:24!!! What a jerk!

Look inspired by Chrysler. This should of been the 2017 crysler Sebring

This desperately needed the 2.0T with 250-260 horsepower. The 1.6 is underpowered and I worry about parts availability since it’s the only car in the USA to ever use this engine

Buick brass said, "We need something to get all those orphaned Volkswagen Eos buyers." Dozens of sales later, Buick discontinued it.

This was one of the cars that I considered buying before I went with a Mustang.

Awesome review as always, I’ve been watching you and subscribed for about a year, and I am stoked on your growth. I was surprised to see this car pop up in my feed and this is always been a guilty pleasure as I think these things look fantastic. When they first came out 80 to 90% of them were definitely rental car fleet now when you see rhem on the road, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone under 70 driving one. I would love if you did 0 to 60 tests in your videos. I realize that that is not feasible for some of your older car reviews as you don’t wanna push other peoples cars to the extreme.👌💯🙏

GM didn't even bother selling these in Canada

Vauxhall/Opel Insignia estates,,sold as Buick Regal station wagons in North America,also have a clamshell tailgate & two sets of taillights.

Great review, cool to see a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall in the states. We got lower powered offerings here

Surprised that you didn't mention that the top can be operated at speeds up to THIRTY-ONE MILES PER HOUR. That's incredible. They have to be the beefiest convertible top in history and they used it on...this. And that's coming from a GM fanboy.

I lke that the display shows tire pressure information because my Toyota does not

The screen in between the Tach and Speedometer is extremely dated for a 2017'. Ripped right out of an 08 Chevy Cruze.

I love that the car’s name means waterfall in spanish lol

I live in south Florida so seeing convertibles like these that have very low mileage driven by old people come up for sale is pretty common. I'll be looking forward to a dirt cheap one in another 10 years.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of these!

i low key want one some day... Not even an upgrade but its a chill car

These were made in Poland, at the Opel factory. And it's actually kind of a gussied up convertible Chevy Cruze, because they were made on the same platform.

I just saw one of these today and was wondering what it was. Crazy coincidence.

If any brand is going to give the convertible SUV another try, it'll be Buick. These are perfect for retirees to drive to the country club.

Missed the opportunity to explain that this is another example of General Motors bringing cars designed and developed around the world to the US. Similar to the Pontiac G8/ Chevy SS which was a rebadged Australian car (Holden), the Cascada (Kas-Kahhh-Da) was a European car, the Opel Cascada. It was built in Poland of all places. A little bit of interesting GM trivia. Thanks for sharing this car.

Ronnie the Limo Driver from the Howard Stern Show owned one of these.

Auch meine erste Reaktion auf das Thumb - "oh ein Opel auf diesem Kanal"

These seem like the Buick Reatta updated 30 years later to me. Not a bad thing.

Having worked as a store personal shopper that was the smallest truck i have loaded

One of the few Buicks Canada never saw.

@Shooting Cars Could you review a 1- 2006-2010 Mazda 5 2- 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 coupe

Kind of a cool car, I've never even herd of them.

Here in Florida they are common. I’ve seen several here with convertible weather

I need those wheels for my wagon

Wow 😮 never knew that tail light thing about the cascada! That is the weirdest tail light solution for the us I ever saw!! Also kudos for spotting these taillights out..

Build all the way in Poland.

Those are sweet

You forgot to point out how the seatbelts get handed to you!

My neighbor has one, never gets driven. I don't think the think top has ever been down. I'm not a big Buick fan, but I think they look good.

Proves dug domero point in his video about screens.

I always liked these. Thought they looked good, if not generic. One of the only times in the past 20 years that Buick stepped out of their box and tried something different. However it is just another Opel-ized Buick, like many of the other Buicks available at this time. If it was actually a ground up design with maybe a more powerful engine and better driving dynamics, maybe a little more aggressive styling, it totally could have taken advantage of the very small convertible niche. Too bad Buick doesn't even make cats anymore. As a big time Buick fan, there's nothing they make right now that I would buy. Maybe the Enclave. And if I were in the market for a cheaper new vehicle, the Encore isn't a bad option. But I'm not an SUV guy. I miss the big floaty Buicks of the past. I know that kind of driving dynamic doesn't sell like it used to but I think they'd be surprised at the success of a Buick that was built they Buicks used to be.

Seen a couple of these around my town here in Florida but I mean this car looks like it was made for an old Floridian so.

Looks like it’s just a modern G6 convertible

Neat 😀

Buick doesn't currently offer a CAR. I'm a Buick loyalist....up to about 2008. Will drive a 3800 til I die.

Pretty much a VW Bettle convertible competitor for the time. Both are European front wheel drive convertibles.

I have never seen one of those in my life

I’m a huge Buick fan so I want one

Caas-caa- da is how it's pronounced. It is Español for waterfall...cascade is the cognate in English.

Reminds me of Saturn. 💙✌️

nice convertible.

this a rebadged Opel Astra?

Oil changes on these are a huge pain in the ass

The model name based on dishwashing detergent.

I didn't know Buick made a convertible

An exciting(?) Buick? Hmm...

I can't imagine ever buying a convertible unless I was stupid rich. My neighbor had a Mini one now a BMW convertible. She loves em. Their cool but eh. Just seems like too much and a lot of sacrifice

import gm

Can we please just talk about the GIANT hair (with the follicle still attached) on the infotainment controls of the CAAS-CAA-DA I was eating dinner when I watched this! That, combined with Cascade-a, was 100% cringeworthy.

Honestly, this is the last Buick that was.... something. Anything. I honestly don't know why Buick is still in the US.

It’s an Opel rebadged as a Buick. That explains a lot.

Dual zone climate control is such a useless option. Cars with them just have a huge and expensive failure point for the HVAC system.

That's not a Buick that's an Opel

I’ve literally only seen old men drive these

Meh love it or hate it, but a blackberry pearl chrysler 200 3.6 v6 would have been my choice.

I had this car for a year and a half. Way overpaid and lost half its value. Always in the shop. Pretty pretty but plastic plastic, basically a worse chevy cruze with a fancy badge. The top was definitely the high point..

Those small turbo gm engines are atrocious

Pitiful trunk / name that sounds like a insect/ lame brand/ insane buttons = epic

Interesting tidbit on the secondary taillights in the trunk jamb. In the U.S., taillights cannot be installed on a moveable piece of body work. Since the Cascada is a European-market Opel rebadged as a Buick for the U.S., it doesn't conform with our regulations. As a result, they had to put those lights in if they wanted to sell it in our market which would've been wiser if they stayed out in the first place since it never caught on here. The fact it only lasted three model years says something. Unfortunately we just don't like convertibles anymore like we used to in the mid-late twentieth century.

Im glad i never traded my murano cross cab for this. It was striking back then but in hindsight the cross cab is mucb more luxurious and unique than this .. hell even a Chrysler 200S is better 😭😭😭 and that engine is horrid.

American cars always have that cheap look and feel to them. Even more surprising is that this isn’t American so what gives?

Looks ok, terrible name, Baby engine, if u going 2 do a sports convertible……. 1.6L wtf?!? Get rid of the backseat and gimme proper engine, & dual exhaust,

i always thought these were cool looking, but its a buick so I assume it sucks.
