A family member had the Buick Roadmaster version of that Wagon. Incredibly smooth ride and handled surprisingly well for such a large soft riding vehicle. Pretty tough and comfy vehicles!

Once I pay off my Riviera, and have a good job, i plan on getting a Roadmaster, just like i planned before.
Only in the SE …
Only in the SE accompanied by 150lb ft torque, the LX -EX had 125-130, & 145 lb ft torque. The caprice albeit small HP, had 255 lb ft torque. Ratio wise yes it is still less than the honda.

T´he 1991 Honda Accord wagon for instance, produces 140 HP, with a 2,2l inline 4 engine.
I was saying that …
I was saying that to illustrate how far motors have come is all. But that thought aside, GM’s own 3800 V6 was making 170hp and the 3100 making 160hp. So in that context, 170hp from a 5.0L displacement and 8cyls. does seem rather underwhelming. Some turbo charged 4′s were making almost as much torque. The power was so low for the time because it was an OLD design, as was the 5.7L. Strangely, the 4.3L V8 offered in these cars made 200hp, more than the larger V8s. Didn’t make much sense.

out of comparison, how much did a Hyundai/Kia four cylinder have in 1991?
I know, funny right …
I know, funny right? My 2.4L 4cyl is 161hp, lol.
I was gonna get one …
I was gonna get one, but then $4.00 a gallon gas hit, so I went with a riviera. I love the buick Roadmaster, with the wood. But I would never get one with a red interior, it is soooo ugly.
We have a …
We have a roadmaster. We love that thing. Had a minivan, no comparison. Check it out on my channel.
There are lots of …
There are lots of reasons. We were just coming out of a low period when car manufacturing is concerned. HP may be low, but was reasonable, torque is more inline w/ displacement. Plus how would you even be able to relate? you were what four or five? what are you comparing this engine to?
170 bhp out of a …
170 bhp out of a 5.0l V8 engine, thats underwhelming to say the least; even for the year 1991.
How come its so low on power?

thoses are pretty cars

The last of the beastly wagons…sadly.
