Sorry for the delay in responding... But yes CA Blue, I do love the Avenir!!! And thank you for bringing it to our attention :) I never miss the debuts of the North American International Auto Show, even if it is from a computer monitor. The Avenir was my favorite of this year's show by a landslide! It reminds me of a time when Buick made vehicles that were just oozing with style. This is, in my humble opinion, the best Buick design of the past 40+ years!

Opel Cascada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks for the link> I found a similar link to the G6:

The Cascada is actually a little smaller than the G6. Overall length of the Casacada is 184.9 vs the G6 189.1, other dimensions are similarly reduced
