Buick might have two products up its sleeve and set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.

GM’s lesser luxury brand is expected to showcase the U.S. version of the midsize Envision crossover that already debuted in China, Buick’s largest single market according to a report by Automotive News. The vehicle will fill an important gap in the brand’s lineup by sitting between the sub-compact Encore and three-row Enclave. In conjunction with that debut, the company is also expected to unveil a re-badged version of the Opel Cascada convertible that is likely to arrive for the 2016 model year.

The Cascada is powered by three engines in Europe: A 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder, a 1.6-liter turbo four that also burns gas and a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine.
