The 2016 Buick Casada: Carmaker introduces first new convertible in 25 years - nwitimes.com
The 2016 Cascada, a stylish convertible that uses innovative powertrain and chassis technologies to enhance the driving experience, is being introduced by Buick. The Cascada is the first new Buick convertible available in North America in 25 years and the latest globally- developed vehicle to join the brand’s portfolio. “The new, 2016 Buick Cascada is a beautiful, engaging convertible that represents the very best of the brand’s global development practices,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. The car has a rigid body structure, Buick’s HiPer Strut front suspension and responsive Watts Z-link suspension in the rear – along with a 200-horsepower turbocharged engine. “Cascada’s driving enjoyment is rooted in technologies that make it more comfortable and refined,” said Aldred. Designed from the start of the process as a convertible, the Buick Cascada has a flowing, sculpted profile, with fast-raked A-pillars that convey a wind-in-the-hair flair. “The Cascada’s design blends the suggestion of speed with sophisticated and uncompromising details,” said Holt Ware, Buick exterior design director. “Most convertibles are designed from existing coupes or sedans, meaning stowage of the top is an afterthought, but not this Buick.
