RS 3 Castlégiir News July 14, 1985 July 14, 1985 KOOTENAY SAVINGS PERSONAL LOANS HYUNDAI © STELLAR | _'The cost of luxury” \OOQO0C Stellar a good bet cesses of Hyundai — the car-building division of a giant Korean conglomerate that aimed at selling 5,000 Pony models in its first year in Canada and ended up topping the 35,000 mark. B.C. must have been a particular hot spot for the company, for it seems to me that every other car you see on the road these days is a Pony. Although new to us, the Pony is, in fact, quite an old design. With the introduction of the Stellar, however, the Canadian market is getting‘an early crack at Hyundai's newest design — one which moves the firm up-market in style and appoin- tments, if not in price. ~ The body of the Stellar is the work of the Italian master stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro, whose eee knows about the remarkable suc- work in the past has included the Volkswagen 5 Rabbit, in addition to the Lotus Esprit and, many other exotic machines from ee. of luxury for the thrifty plastic mouldings is good — | particularly liked the way the insides of the doors were trimmed. Why is it that some manufacturers persist in com- bining vinyl, carpeting, seat fabric, chrome trim and other touches all in the same door panel? There’s lots of room for-adults in the rear seats and there is a centre arm rest: that folds down to reveal a usefull lidded bin. The headlining is of cloth and the cut pile car- peting is quite luxurious. The interior is almost spoiled by a flimsy and tacky-looking vinyl shround around the gear lever but there are not other cheap touches to speak of. The front seats recline, using an infinitel variable knob control rather than by the lever ‘and notch method. The knob system is far superior in my view since it helps you get exactly the right seat back position. The driver's seat has ad- justable lumbar support, too. sports cars. The car-is hi by an d and | place it among my favorite these or four sedans for sheer good looks. All stellars have four doors and the lines are very tidy all around. The.car sits quite low on the road, has neat wrap-around bumpers front and rear and boasts large areas of glass. With very stylish (and easy to clean) aero wheel covers, the car looks as if it costs thousands more than the modest — léss_than $9,000 — price tag it carries. At first glance it could be an Audi or something similarly desirable; it may be just the car for the more thrifty among the yuppies. There’s nothing complicated about the powertrain. The Stellar uses a 1600cc water- cooled four-cylinder engine married to either a five:speed manual gearbox or a three-speed tr The five-speed box on my test car was exceptional and ranks up with the be5t I've tested over the past year or so. Steering is rack and pinion and braking is taken care of with a disc front/drum rear arrangement. My test Stellar was a dark grey metallic_GLS — the top model, which comes with a selection of power options and other convenience items for not too much more than the price of the basic car. The interior of the car again belies the low price. The plus upholstery is particularly im- —_pressive-and_looks_as.if- it -will survive hard- wear. The choice of materials and textures for interior Instr is fairly c and-the GSL has a tachometer. The panel is well-planned and all the gauges can be seen through the steering wheel spokes. The GSL has power windows and mirrors, digital clock, remote gas filler door release. power door locks and a variety of other ac- cessories. All models have Michelin all- season teel-belted > radials, hi hts, side window demisters and child- proof rear door -locks. On driving the car | was surprised to find it quite lively (several fellow automotive writers ad mentioned that the car was seriously under- powered at only 1600cc). It’s a small motor but most people will find it more-than nippy enough for their needs — especially with the very slick five-speed gearbox. A V6 under the hood would affect the price and the fuel consumption. -_ The Stellar is a. remarkable buy and you geta lot for the money — even a good quality set of wrenches in the tool kit. > One of the reasons for this value is that South Korea has developing country’ status, which makes it exempt from certain tariffs. This status is due to be changed before too long and the prices of all Hyundai cars will jump as a-result. They'll still be keenly priced but those with a serious in- —terestinthe two models are advised to move fast— Reproduced from the Vancouver Sun, of Friday, June 21, 1985. “Engine: 1600 cc _four- cylinder.

TOYOTA 4x4 PARIS (AP) — Sergei Bubka of the Soviet Union broke his own world. pole _- vault record Saturday, vault- metres during the Paris International track and field meet. On his third attempt, the 22-year-old Bubka- shattered his own. record of 5.94 metres, which he set last Aug. 31 in Rome. He barely grazed the cross- bar with his chest on his record-setting six-metre jump, but the bar held firm. Raising his arms: in victory, the Soviet immediately was mobbed by’ photographers and well-wishers. It. was the only world record of the day and over- shadowed a fine performance by Mary Slaney of the United Mark McKoy, who won one. illiams won the 100-_ metre dash in 10.1 seconds: and the 200-metre event in 20.48.

In the men's coxless fours, Dean Crawford, 27, and Grant Main, 25 both of Victoria, and Kevin Neufeld, 24, of St. Catharines, Ont.; and Ted Gibson, 23, of Toronto, won their second- change repechage to move into the final. Rebounding from a fifth- place finish in Friday's heats, the quartet posted a time of six minutes 5.31 seconds — 66-100ths of a second faster than the winning time clock- ed by the Soviet Union in winning the other repechage. Crawford, Main, and Neu- feld,, were members of the eights crew ‘which won the John Houldi: 23, of Toronto; and Dave 59.84 seconds.

During the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Slaney was involved in a collision with Budd, which knocked both women. out of, contention in’ the ~ 3,000 metres. Lynn Williams of Van-, couver, a bronze medallist in the 3,000-metre run at the Los Angeles Olympics, finished third in the 1,500 metres with a clocking of 4:04.17. seconds. Cornelia _ Burki “of Switzerland was second in 4:02.05. After receiving a standing ovation from the 5,000 spec- tators at ‘the Jean, Boin Stadium, Bubka said, “Yes it was a dream (to reach six metres), but that was the dream of all pole vaulters.” Debbie Brill of Vancouver placed third in the women's high jump with a leap of 1.96 metres. Sylvia Costa of Cuba won the event at two metres and Louise Ritter of the U.S. finished second with the same height. Basketball camp slated for August Aspiring girl basketball stars from elementary and junior high schools will have an opportunity to spend five days immersed in their fav- orite sport this summer at the 7th, annual Rockettes Basketball Camp: to be held August 19-23 at Selkirk College in Castlegar. Registrations have been pouring in and this year's enrollment will easily sur- pass last year's total of 57 girls, says camp director Doug Pilatzke. y “Lots of girls from surrounding areas are enroll- ing,” says Pilatzke, junior sirla-coach at Stanley Hum- phries. “Word about the camp has spread to places like Grand Forks, Nelson, Fruitvale and Ross, 21, of Mill Bay, B.C., ~ also claimed top spot in their repechage to advance to the final. The Canadians led throughout the 2,000-metre race and finished with a time of 6:15.96, while the French took second in 6:19.30 to grab the other openings’ .for the final. “They went for it right off the line, the start line,” said Morrow, who also coaches the coxed fours. “The plan was to dictate the race to the other crews.” In the men's ‘single sculls, Pat Walter, 26, of Burnaby, B.C., qualified-for a star- studded final with a third- place finish in his semifinal. Trail and girls from these areas are ‘increasing the enrolment every year.” The camp is operated in co- operation with Stanley Humphries Secondary, School District No. 9, Selkir| College and Gatorade. Most of the coaching staff is fro SHSS with many former Rockettes helping out. “Our' goal is to give the girls a maximum exposure to basketball during the five days,” Pilatzke said in a prepared release. One of the main objectives of the camp is sport-oriented: the development of the fun- damental skills of basketball; the other main objective is people-oriented: and “empha- sizes the promotion of fait play, respect, and self-di cipline. The camp is open to all girls 11-15 years of age who are interested in basketball. The junior division for 11-12 year olds is more activity- oriented while the senior division is more directed towards competition. Morn- ing activities begin each day at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4:30 p.m. Registration is from 8-9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 20. - “All aspects of the game are covered,” Pilatzke said. We give clinics on dribbling, passing, shooting and re- bounding. Each day there is a session on man-to-man de- fense.” Other camp features -in- clude films, videotapes, and guest. coaches speaking on such topics as __ trainin, 1-4 methods, weight-training, and equipment. Referees from the Officials Association will visit the camp to talk about rules. There are one- one-one fompetitions, free. throw fontests, shooting ntgat. dribbling competi- tions and a three-on-three cut-thoat league. In the course of the week the girls will also go swimm: ing and play softball against, the coaches. The rest of the time is spent on competitive play: the campers are assign- ed to teams that play against éach other twice each day “t put into practice what they've learned in the teach- Athletes qualify for Games: _—.
