Umm yeah...

Thing I don’t understand: How the hell is the Buick Cascada 400lbs heavier than the Camaro convertible (not exactly a lightweight vehicle itself)? I guess both are lighter than your “Camaro”...

The Camaro is on the lightweight Alpha platform. The Cascada is on the Delta 2 platform, which has been around since 2008 and wasn’t designed with light, premium/sports cars in mind.

It's also because the Vauxhall Astra Convertible has this heavy roof.

Do you think that roof is significantly heavier than this one?

Unless some cunning lightweight construction scheme is used, I doubt it.

The Vauxhall’s weight is a strange case, that’s for sure.
