While eco-friendly cars like the Tesla Model S P85D work hard to change his opinion, he will never go for an electric appliance on wheels in the detriment of a burbling V-8 engulfed in a body designed with passion instead of logic. Following a two-year sabbatical, he returned to autoevolution to find and become friends with Ciprian, whom he joined at TopSpeed at the end of 2014. Quitting college in his last year to land a first car writing gig at a local franchise of Top Gear Magazine, he then quickly turned his attention to online media, helping create and then become the editor-in-chief of autoevolution.

He then grew up watching the intense track battles between Senna and Prost, but his dream of one day competing in Formula One was about as accomplishable as free energy and world peace. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw that Gandini masterpiece, the image stuck with him through childhood, albeit his taste in cars has (allegedly) evolved since the 1980s. It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars.
No performance numbers are currently available, but you shouldn't expect it to leave any similarly powered cars in the dust since the Opel Cascada with a variant of the 1.6-liter engine and a six-speed automatic tips the scales at around 3,821 pounds. As with most modern cars, the Cascada comes with electric power-steering. The MacPherson-based HiPer Strut front suspension found on the Buick LaCrosse and Regal is found on the Cascada as well, while the semi-rigid rear suspension features a Watts Z-link design to help it behave more like an independent one. As standard, the engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, which should enable the model to offer a comfortable if not a bit mellow driving experience. Torque is pushed to approximately 221 pound-feet of torque thanks to a limited overboost feature. At least in the beginning, the 2016 Buick Cascada will be powered exclusively by a 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder with direct injection that develops 200 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque.
