We've told this tale before, but it's fun to recall when Buick presents us with such a head-turning ride as the all-new Cascada convertible. After all, there was a time, so it's said, when a certain segment of Buick buyers bought a Buick specifically to avoid attention. Back in the day, the story goes, Buick was viewed by many as "a doctor's car. " The theory was a proportion of Buick buyers consisted of well-heeled physicians who really wanted a Cadillac, but feared a Caddy would make them look too prosperous as a result of their patients' miseries. So these docs settled for the less ostentatious luxury of a Buick. We love that story, and if it ain't true, it oughta be. Buick today, however, doesn't seem interested in anonymity, unveiling at last month's Detroit auto show the hey-look-at-me 2016 Cascada convertible — the first drop-top Buick in a quarter of...
