FactBuick badged its version Cascada too, sharing the name across four GM brands with barely a change.
The Opel Cascada is a four-passenger fabric-roof convertible manufactured and marketed by Opel across a single generation for model years 2013 through 2019, prioritising year-round touring comfort over sportiness. Nearly identical badge-engineered variants were marketed globally under four General Motors brands (Opel, Vauxhall, Holden and Buick), and under the Opel Cabrio nameplate in Spain. Engineered at Opel's International Technical Development Center and built at Gliwice, Poland (its 200 hp 1.6-litre engine produced in Hungary and its 6-speed automatic transmission in the US), it sits on the Delta II platform shared with the Astra J and Zafira Tourer C, and the soft top can be electro-hydraulically raised or lowered at speeds up to 50 km/h. The Vauxhall Cascada launched in the UK in March 2013 with 140 PS 1.4 and 170 PS 1.6 turbo petrols, followed by a 1.6 SIDI producing 200 PS from October 2013 and a 2.0 CDTI diesel; the Buick Cascada offered only the 200 PS (197 hp) 1.6 turbo with a six-speed automatic in Base (1SV), Premium and Sport Touring trims, and the Holden Cascada came only with the 170 PS (168 hp) version and a six-speed automatic. Its predecessor was the Astra H TwinTop; Buick announced the end of its Cascada after the 2019 model year.

This was the year the Virage's automatic finally got a fourth gear — Aston swapped in a four-speed automatic to replace the original three-speed unit for the 1993 model year.
Audi's first drop-top since 1959 barely made a dent stateside: the V6 Cabriolet sold just 5,445 units across its entire five-year run in the US market.
This Azure's V8 exists because of a corporate grudge: when VW won the fight for Bentley, BMW threatened to cut off engine supply — forcing VW to rebuild the 6.75-litre V8 itself, twin-turbos and all.
Bentley never even considered a roll-bar for the Azure's convertible top — they just reinforced the chassis instead and let the design stay pure.
The F8 Spider's folding hardtop raises or lowers in just 14 seconds, and you can do it on the move, at up to 28 mph.
Bentley hid a charging nook for iPads between the rear seats of the Continental GT Convertible — a 2015 update that quietly conceded the future was tablets, not just wood veneer.
Bentley built just 710 of these second-generation Supersports worldwide, coupe and convertible combined — one of the rarest W12 Bentleys ever made.
The Auburn Twelve's V12 outlived the car by decades — its engine design became the basis for American LaFrance fire truck powerplants that stayed in service into the 1950s.
