A car salesman was stunned by an uncommon trunk design inside a Buick Cascada getting serviced at his business.<\/p>\n
Spence (@spence_sells_cars<\/a>) posted a TikTok showing off the vehicle\u2019s trunk. Throngs of commenters had differing opinions as to why Buick opted for this peculiar aesthetic.<\/p>\n The dealer begins recording the vehicle in question, which appears to be cut from the same cloth as the Chrysler Sebring convertible. Spence is baffled by the Cascada\u2019s engineering.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we\u2019re back in the service bay today cause this thing really threw me for a loop,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n He pans the camera to the open trunk. Strangely, another set of tail lights are hidden beneath the lid.<\/p>\n A text overlay reads, \u201cWhy did they do this?\u201d<\/p>\n Spence continues, \u201cWhat is with this trunk here? Look at that, it\u2019s got a tail light. But it\u2019s got a tail light under the tail light.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat? That\u2019s crazy. You can\u2019t see through that. Anyone know why they do that?\u201d he asks as his video ends.<\/p>\n Spence isn\u2019t the only person who\u2019s been baffled by the Cascada\u2019s decision to double up on rear taillights. Redditor @DeathbyAndy<\/a>, who says they\u2019re an ASE Certified tech<\/a>, posted a picture of a Cascada to the Justrolledintotheshop<\/a> Subreddit with the caption, \u201cSo we are putting tail lights in the trunk now?\u201d<\/p>\n ‘What Vehicle Is It?’: Man Shows How AutoZone Workers React When You Ask For Custom Parts<\/a> One Redditor jokingly speculated, \u201cYeah, it’s the 2017 Buick Oldpeopleleavethetrunkopen.\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else suggested it\u2019s because the Cascada doesn\u2019t come with a particularly large boot.<\/p>\n \u201cProbably a law stating that your tail lights must be visible at all times, even with the trunk opened,\u201d they continued, adding that they could easily imagine someone driving with the trunk open to cart items that don\u2019t fit inside.<\/p>\n Another person who also said they were ASE certified suggested that it\u2019s because the Cascada also comes as a convertible.<\/p>\n \u201cThese new Buick Cascadas can open\/close the top when the vehicle is in motion, I believe up to 30 mph,\u201d they wrote. \u201cSince the rear deck lid comes completely up during the top motions, it has to have the second set of lights.\u201d<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> reported that the 2016 Buick Cascada<\/a> convertible\u2019s roof mechanism can deploy \u201cquickly and easily.\u201d<\/p>\n We further noted that the \u201csecond set of tail lights [\u2026] are visible when the rear section tilts back.\u201d This was due to the high speeds at which the Cascada can deploy its convertible top: up to 31 miles per hour.<\/p>\n General Motors told Jalopnik<\/em><\/a> that auto manufacturers often add tail lights to a portion of the car that\u2019s not connected to the trunk, i.e. the actual body of the car. That way, when the vehicle\u2019s trunk is popped up, the lights are visible at all times.<\/p>\n \u201cDesigners generally design the trunk lid to comply with safety and regulatory needs so that a portion of the taillights remain in place and attached to the fenders while the trunk is open,\u201d the Buick representative reportedly said.<\/p>\n Many people who replied to Spence\u2019s TikTok said that the extra tail lights were legally required.<\/p>\n \u201cThis design is necessary because the primary taillights on the trunk lid would be obscured when the trunk is lifted, and regulations require visible tail lights at all times,\u201d one remarked.<\/p>\n Another suggested, \u201cHazard lights while trunk is up and you\u2019re changing tire.\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else thought it was just a case of retrofitting a pre-existing overseas model for the United States market. \u201cTail lights aren’t allowed on moving parts in the U.S., so\u00a0 that was their workaround.\u201d<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> has reached out to Spence via TikTok comment for further information. We’ll be sure to update this if he responds.<\/p>\n \u00a0 A car salesman was stunned by an uncommon trunk design inside a Buick Cascada getting serviced at his business.
