Too bad it's going to stay like that till a next generation model comes out. But it can be said that layout is completely normal for a buick.. it's at least what I would expect.

I am not a fan of the multitude of buttons in the center. Some are needed or are easier to use than if everything only a touch screen option. But when there are a multitude it not only clutters the dash but makes functions harder to find and use.

At least if navigation equipped the display is in the dash and not a popup screen that can not be easily seen when the top is open and sun behind the driver. Popups are good for roll bars but not for navigation displays.

Carbon clone of the Verano, or maybe the Verano was cloned from Opel... It looks like the Cascada has thigh supports on the front buckets, which I like quite a bit, glad to see more makers including this feature.

Looks quite nice

Yeah, even i'm guilty of overlooking things and just accepting it for what it is, then later having regrets.
Best to be well informed and decide after.

doubt it. at the end of the day its up to the consumer to find out. but most of us overlook this and just assume all leather seats are real.

they avoid mentioning anything about the seats because the truth is that most of us assume its real leather. for MBTEX most buyers are suprised to hear the leather is fake.

The same goes for lexus cars.

alot of their entry level models have fake leather. people buy them without even knowing.

In that case it's the consumers fault.
It would be great if there were laws or regulations that make it mandatory for dealers to be very transparent about stuff like this.

They make it seem like it's true leather with the way they word things but as with all things you buy you have to read the fine print below which will say what exactly it is.

Now it's the really high end cars that have 100% REAL leather.

You'd be surprised that many "luxury" brands including the germans and japs offer fake leather on their "LEATHER" seats.

good to see they use real leather, only one downside, we will have to put more care into it as real leather requires more attention. real leather seats will rip, crack and tear over time.
