I suspect some small portable solar panels will show up that will be able to slowly recharge an EV. Just don't get in a hurry.

To be sure, they don’t do much, but I’m surprised the idea hasn’t driven more research into making it more useable.

Over 50% of Sierra HDs are Denalis, and over 90% of those are Duramaxes.

Buick Cascada dies the death everyone expected
It was a bad idea from the start. I wonder how many millions were spent on advertising, while the Camaro gets none. Sales Results: 2016 - 7,153 2017 - 5,595 2018 - 4,136

Since they made the Camaro with a narrow appeal, the overwhelming majority of those who would consider buying a Camaro already know about it. So there isn't much point spending money on TV spots or most other types of typical advertising. There are much more efficient ways to spend their marketing budget. Ones that are aimed directly at enthusiasts instead of the general public. But the Cascada? Even people who consider themselves car buffs forget that it exists, let alone the general public. Plus, Buick still has an enormous perception issue. So there is value in simply informing people that, yes you can get a Buick convertible. It helps change the perception of the brand overall in addition to promoting the Cascada specifically.

***EDIT*** Turns out the Opel and Vauxhall (Opel’s UK twin) convertibles were also named Cascada. But all three Cascada models were basically convertible versions of the Opel / Vauxhall Insignia that the Buick Regal is based on

I don't think I ever saw a standalone Cascada ad, so...

There were a few in the Detroit area. Paid for by the Detroit Area Buick Dealers. Showed the top operating at 30 mph.

Well, if anything it was a convertible. Now only two GM convertibles available...Camaro and Corvette. Convertibles should be a good money maker for however many they sell.

GM ceded the top muscle car sales position to the Mustang and they've ceded the second spot to the Challenger now. Both of which are promoted in commercials, social media and enthusiast forums. It doesn't matter if it's pet rocks, advertising is key in the success of any product.

It doesn't matter how much advertise You do for some product, if the product doesn't have something that you need or something so exciting that make you forget all the other things that make it impractical to You, it won't sell a Lot. That's what happen with Dodge, they have both, and casuality they are very good and creative advertising it. (Sorry for my Bad english) |

Cascadia wasn't going to be successful, regardless of how many advertising dollars were thrown at it. Camaro is not a bad vehicle and could sell considerably better, if a marketing campaign were behind it that created excitement.
