Full Review from The Auto Channel's Bill Russ

This years Buick's Roadmaster Estate Wagon has the distinction of being one of the largest and most powerful V8-powered station wagons in the world. It harks back to an earlier era when almost all American-built vehicles featured the body-on-frame, front-engine, rear drive design. In 1991, after hiatus of over 20 years, the Roadmaster Estate Wagon, now redesigned and brought up-to-date. again became a prominent member of the Buick automotive lineup. Even though it no longer wears its old badge of distinction, four portholes on its front fenders, it has returned to the Buick stable as an up-to-date reincarnation of the automotive glories of the forties and fifties.

Up until recently the ubiquitous van appeared to be the vehicle of choice for many American families, and in the past decade many new models made the automotive scene. However, in the last couple of years several new station wagon models have debated, an now almost every major car maker has one to offer as an alternative choice to the van.

While the Buick Estate Wagon has been in showrooms and on the street for two years, many significant alterations have been incorporated into the 1993 model . This big versatile wagon can fairly comfortably seat nine passengers. It now rides smoother and quieter and offers good performance, reasonable fuel economy plus many creature comforts.

Over 400 miles of metropolitan, suburban, country and mountain driving left these impressions.

Appearance

From its waterfall grille to its dual purpose tailgate/rear door everything about the Roadmaster Estate wagon is big. It is long, wide and well-rounded, with a huge cabin with many large tinted windows, including the overhead Vista Roof. The wagon theme is emphasized by the vinyl wood trim all along the sides highlighted by a black rub strip, and a built-in highly adjustable roof rack. White-striped General Ameritec ST all-season tires are mounted on shiny cast alloy wheels.

Comfort

Our test wagon came sumptuously equipped with practically every convenience item in Buick's parts warehouse. It fit the classic definition of "loaded". In 90 degree plus weather with a full load the climate control worked wonderfully and kept the large cabin at a comfortable temperature. The Delco AM/FM/CD unit is easy to set and tune, and has excellent reception. The instrument panel includes a full complement of analog gauges, while all the power accessories, including remote keyless entry are installed. The versatile seating arrangements enable this wagon to seat up to nine persons, or, with both sets of rear seats folded down, to be a flat floor cargo hauler. There's a good deal of secure inside storage space, plus cup and coin holders. Buick's newly redesigned seats are a great improvement over earlier models make all-day driving a treat.

Roadability

Ride and handling capabilities of the Roadmaster Estate Wagon have quite noticeably improved. Buick's heavy duty suspension mounted on the ladder frame provides much better stability as well as greatly diminished oscillation - in other words as it wends its way down the highway, it doesn't "wallow" any more, and body lean on turns is much milder. The power steering is responsive, the anti-lock brakes provide straight stopping, the limited slip differential provides positive t traction on slippery road conditions. With the optional trailer towing package, which includes additional cooling and an automatic load leveling system, it is possible to safely tow up to 5000 pounds, plus a full load in the wagon. Vision is excellent in all directions, and wind noise is minimal.

Performance

This year's Roadmaster is powered by General Motor's throttle-body fuel injected, 5.7 liter, overhead valve, pushrod, V8 engine that generates 180 horsepower and an impressive 300 foot pounds of torque. This combination allows the Estate Wagon to haul heavy loads down the road or up the grade with excellent pulling power right from the start. Its four-speed Hydra-matic transmission shifts fairly smoothly and provides compression in lower gears for convenience when descending long and/or fairly steep grades. This powertrain combo is right for this vehicle.

Conclusions

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "The demise of the large, V8 powered, front engine, rear drive, body on frame, vehicle has been grossly exaggerated". The Estate Wagon is a proof that a Roadmaster does not have to be a "road monster", but, rather, a powerful, luxurious, well equipped, and most of all, a quite versatile means of transportation for both people and things.

PRICE AS TESTED: $ 28,347 completely equipped.
BASE PRICE: $ 23,850.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Buick Somerset Regal Limited

Fri, Aug 10 2018

The Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac divisions of The General's mighty army got serious about their attempts to compete with futuristic and stylish German and Japanese coupes during the second half of the 1980s, with cars such as the Cadillac Allante, Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, and Buick Reatta. They featured edgy styling, wild digital dashes, and other interesting gadgetry. Before them, however, came the Buick Somerset. Built for the 1985 through 1987 model years, only the '85s were badged as Somerset Regals. Here's one of those ultra-rare cars, spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. This badging confused many Buick shoppers at the time, because the 1985 Regal was a "traditional" midsize rear-wheel-drive car, based on the increasingly antiquated G-Body platform, and the Somerset Regal was an N-Body front-wheel-drive compact. For 1985 and 1986, the car became the Buick Somerset. The interior is your standard Whorehouse Red velour, a theme used by everybody from Nissan to Chrysler during the 1985-1995 period. This cloth looks pretty nice for a car from sunny California. Digital dashes became very trendy during this period, with Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan, and even Toyota getting into the act during the first part of the decade, and everyone else jumping on the bandwagon a bit later. The radio face went into this weird pod perched over the HVAC controls, which looked like something from the Mars Base and made aftermarket audio-system installation nearly impossible. The factory cassette deck, if desired, had to go elsewhere in the console. The base engine in the Somerset Regal was the decidedly un-European Iron Duke four-cylinder with 92 horsepower, but this car has the optional 120-horse 3.0-liter V6. In theory, a 5-speed manual transmission was available, but I'm guessing that the quantity of so-equipped Somerset Regals was numbered in the high dozens. There's plenty of hard red plastic and fake wood inside, of course. Base price on a V6 Somerset Regal Limited came to $10,026 (about $24,000 in 2018 dollars). Meanwhile, a Pontiac Grand Am LE with the 3.0 V6 was nearly the same car and listed at $8,970. If you wanted even crazier electronics and an interior that looked like something out of a jet fighter, the 1985 Subaru XT GL had a $9,899 price tag. Give me savvy. Give me cool. Give me a car that breaks all the rules. Give me the look. Give me the feel. Give me the magic. Give me the wheel.

2022 Buick Envision Plus three-row crossover is like an Envision, plus

Wed, Apr 7 2021

Buick exited the sedan segment when it axed the Regal, but it's going all-in on crossovers and SUVs. It released a dark preview image that gives us an early look at a three-row family-hauler named Envision Plus. Announced only for the Chinese market as of writing, the Envision Plus is — as its name implies — positioned above the Envision in the company's range, though it's smaller than the Enclave. It's mechanically related to the crossover it shares its nameplate with, but it appears to receive a specific design with a new-look front bumper and a more upright grille. It also wears a boxier silhouette that allowed Buick to add a third row of seats. Extra seating aside, we expect the Plus will offer an interior close to the standard Envision's, which we described as "a scaled-down take on the Enclave's interior" in February 2021. Similarly, Buick will likely offer the Envision Plus with the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the smaller model. It produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the front or the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buick will release more details about the 2022 Envision Plus in the coming weeks, and it will unveil the model at the 2021 edition of the Shanghai auto show opening its doors on April 21. While the company hasn't confirmed plans to sell its latest crossover in its home market, we wouldn't be surprised if it arrives here before the end of 2021. Auto shows were put on hiatus in 2020, at the height of the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and the upcoming Shanghai show is the first major industry event in over a year. In addition to the Buick people-mover, we'll discover Toyota's first global electric car. It will arrive as a near-production concept close in size to the hot-selling RAV4.

Buick Electra-X concept teased for Chinese audience

Tue, May 31 2022

Buick is about to show its largest market, China, how the brand does an electric vehicle specifically for that clientele. The Tri-Shield released two images of the shark nose that will grace its Electra-X concept, a follow up to the Electra concept that debuted at the Auto Beijing in 2020. Instead of the 583-horsepower, high-riding, thick-bodied fanciful sedan of yore, the Electra-X should be a much more production-ready version of what Chinese buyers can expect. Buick China said that "The Electra-X concept takes Buick's innovative thinking and imagination of future electric mobility to the next level. It is designed to provide a safer, smarter and more desirable EV experience, building on Buick's deep understanding and insights of local consumers toward electrification and intelligent driving." This will be a different vehicle than the "groovy" EV concept Buick showed its American audience in February of this year, although there are similarities. Buick China also said of the Electra-X that it is "defined by the brand's all-new design language" that embodies "distinct and forward-looking styling, along with an airy interior." Another design trait will be slim, sloping DRLs, seen on the Chinese and U.S. concept teasers, with slight differences. The Asian market can also expect minimal surfacing, an ornate grille treatment, side mirror cameras, and trim A-pillars. Tech-wise, Buick says the Ultium-based product will come with Super Cruise and its Virtual Cockpit System. The China debut happens next month at 2022 Buick Brand Day. Our groovy EV debuts this summer, the automaker planning to have two electric vehicles in U.S. showrooms by the end of 2023. The Electra-X could give big clues about what's headed our way.
