WHITBY 666-2555 FREE PRESS AUTO GUIDE H yu ndai Pony cornes to D urham- The Hyundai Group has grown over the last 35 years to become the largest industrial corporation in Korea, encompassing 24 affiliates. Activities range from shipbuilding to civil engineering, from au- tomobiles to precision components. Hyundai was ranked by Fortune magazine as the 4lst largest company in -the world outside the U.S. in terms of total revenues. Heavy industry bas trad- itionally formed a major part of its activities and Hyundai Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. is one of the large«t shipbuilders in the world, with a capacity to build 3,000,000 D.W.T. per year. Hyundai Construction and Engineering is in- volved in almost ail parts of the construction busi- ness, including road and railway construction pro- jects, tunnels, bridges, hydro-electric plants and large scale industrial com- plexes. More recently, Hyundai has also de- veloped construction of nu- clear power plants and key intemnati'onal civil and en- gineering projects. It is also anticipated that Hyun- dai wilI play a major part in the construction of facil- ities for the Olympic Games to be held in Seoul, South Korea in 1988. In- chon Iron & Steel Co., an Hyundai affiliate, lias been the pioneer in the steel in- dustry of Korea, with an annual capacity to produce over two million tons of steel and rolled products. Products within af- filiates of the Group, for use by Hyundai itself, in- clude railway locomotives and rolling stock for use on the railways it has built, large marine engines to power its ships, as well as suitable shipping contain- ers to be carried by them. Hyundai is also a large- scale manufacturer of au- tomotive components, aluminum ingots, paints, electrical equipment, ce- ment, steel pipes and a variety of building mate- rials. In 1967, the Hyundai Motor Company was formed to start local assem- bly of Cortina passenger cars, a prograru that was launched under the Techni- cal Assistance Agreement from Ford. After only four years of building this small passenger car, the produc- tion of trucks, dumpers, buses and luxury coaches was also begun.. A major step was taken in 1973. It was decided to manufacture a range of cars that was based primarily on Korean design. Although the Korean car market was growing rapidly, it was thought essential that this new car should also be suit- able for export to aIl major highly industrialized count- tries of the world. After a year of meticulous prepara- tion, the Hyundai PONY was born and a prototype was shown at the Turin Motor Show. Production started in 1976, at first sup- plying only the home mar- ket, but by 1979 almost 100,000 PONY cars were being produced with a rapidly rising allotment to- wards export markets. .As a vehicle manufac- turer, the Hyundai Motor Company has been in the forefront of Korean indus- try since 1967. It bas built a modem, totally integ- rated automotive plant cap- able of an impressively versatile vehicle produc- tion. It is staffed by quai- if ïed engineers. 8.500 technîians and as- semblers. Quite literally, Hyundai means "modemn". The Hyuindai effort is concen- trucks and buses. The PONY, like ail Hyundai products, was de- signed and develope'd at the Hyundai Engineering Centre. Once a product idea bas materialized, the Centre tests it for safety, durability and commercial Centre tests it for safety, durability and commercial acceptance. From the foundry to the Trim & Finish Shop, Hyundai Motor Company employs the most modem instruments and test facili- ties available anywhere. For example, in the Forg- ing Shop a Continuous Heat Treatment Furnace automatically adjusts the hardness of metal compos- ition for such items as crankshafts and axles. In the Body Shop, a fully-au- tomated Multi-Spot Weld- ing Machine is capable of handling up to 390 welds at the same time. Along the line, accuracy and neatness are the code. The Hyundai PONY was introduced to the Canadian auto market in 1981 and bas since continued to grow and gain wide accep- tance among the Canadian driving . public. The 1984 version of the PONY is a culmination of the entire Hyundai Motor Com- pany's development policy - to produce a highly re- fined, comfortable and well-designed compact passenger car with excel- lent economy and brisk performance. The PONY is powered by a peppy 1439 cc, 4 cylinder OHC engine, mated to a 4 or 5 speed all-synchromesh manual transmission or a three-speed automatic. It is a five-door hatchback, av- ailable in three model de- signations (L, GL and GLS). Mechanical specifi- cations are simple for maximum reliability, ease of servicing and durability. It bas a conventional front- engine, rear-drive layout that gives excellent roadholding characteristics combined with a smooth, comfortable ride. The ex- cellent aerodynamics of the body design were de- veloped in the studios of fanied stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italy. The safety of driver and occup- ants has been a major con- sideration throughout the deveîopmnent of the PONY. Standard features include a dual line brake system, head restraints and inertia seat belts. In addition to on-bine factory inspections, every PONY bas to take part in an extensive battery of post-completion tests, in- cluding wheel alignment, brakes, steering, lights, water resistance and road performance. It bas passed severe winter testing prog- rams, which simulate Canadian conditions, mak- ing it an ideal car for Cana- dian climates.

Loose exhaust parts triple threat A Detroit police car's tlashing blue lights sig- naled a car to the curb dur- ing a recent cold wave.

Rusty. corrodcd mutiler connlfectionls usually start as small perf*orations and de- velop into larger holes until the connection simply breaks off. That moment is easily identified when you hear a loud, roaring noise. Exhaust systems also become clogged due to in- ternai parts in the mulÎler breaking loose and restrict- ing the flow of* exha *ust gases. A pinched or bent pipe can also cause restric- tions which can lead to en- gine overheating and pow- er Ioss. Due to extrenie heat, mnufflers and tailpipes can deteriorate quickly and'are usually replaced at the sanie time by repair shops.
