And today, much the same is true, as more and more cyclists rendezvous in Bridger-land. Bridger-land. From the pastoral Cache Valley to the high peaks of the Mount Naomi Wilderness; from the cobalt-blue waters of Bear Lake to the picture-perfect villages vil-lages you see along the way, there are rides for every cyclist in this beautiful part of Utah. 7.T (? HH3 On look at the latest Sonata from Hyundai and youH see a car that has undergone a stunning stun-ning styling transformation for 1997. Beneath the sleek new skin is a car with improved performance per-formance and better road handling han-dling than its predecessor as well as surprising touches of luxury that will exceed typical expectations for the mid-size sedan segment buyer. Refined both inside and out, the new Sonata offers style and elegance of a much more expensive vehicle. Hyundai has restyled all front and rear panels with a highly contemporary design. The most interesting feature of the front and rear panels with a highly contemporary design. The most interesting feature of the front view is the new, compact-sized grille. Its eye-catching ellipsoid shape makes a bold design statement. The hood receives stronger character lines which converge around the grille in a 'V fashion and flow into the one-piece bumper with a dramatic result. Flanking the grille are new smooth form reflector headlamps encased in a semi-circular lens. In addition to imparting a high-tech look, the headlamps also offer the benefit of a tighter, better focused beam for improved forward for-ward illumination. The side view reveals a number num-ber of subtle refinements. Anew body color-keyed waistline molding has been redesigned to match the new general design theme. Running from front to rear, the molding provides a sense of smooth visual continuity con-tinuity along the waistline. GLS models receive a chromed molding mold-ing with chromed insert. Not a single rear panel or line has gone untouched in a bid to create a new distinctive identity iden-tity for the 1997 Sonata.

Travelingeast through Logan Canyon, the view of the turquoise-colored lake from the summit will take your breath away. The lake is truly a jewel on the border between Utah and Idaho. Scenic Route 89 along Bear Lake is the most popular choice for travelers between be-tween Yellowstone or Jackson Hole and Salt Lake City. A 48-mile loop around the lake offers a fairly level ride for cyclists of various abilities. tfr Umm rrs nr H si I - V ( cate arch to the rear deck surface sur-face imparts a voluminous sense and then drops to form a smooth, well-defined edge. Just under the rear deck surface, a light concave line runs parallel to the edge providing a subtle interplay inter-play of concave and convex lines. The softly curved contours of the wraparound bumper provide visual range which evokes a feeling feel-ing of strength and solidity. The broad, angular cut of the new rear combination lamps impart dynamic qualities while the three corners, alternately sharp and rounded, contribute to the neat, organized appearance of the whole rear end. Interior refinements add to luxurious ride "Quieter" sums up the noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) improvements incorporated into the new Sonata. Aerodynamic refinements like flush-fitting doors and restyled side mirrors help cut wind noise and create a satisfyingly quiet ride. Critical areas such as the center floor pan now have thicker isolation pads to sea out road and tire noise. New, more effective sound deadening materials have been introduced in the engine firewall to keep out engine vibration and noise. A liquid-filled engine mount for the V-6 model and additional insulation in the lower cowl and floor areas help reduce interior noise. Vibrations transmitted from the crankshaft to the engine block have also been sharply reduced by the addition ad-dition of beam bearing caps. Suspension and chassis deliver superb handling The Sonata delivers a great combination of ride and handling han-dling features, with a long wheelbase of 106.3 inches, and wide track of 59.6 inches at the front and 59.1 inches at the rear. LAKE KOA Many mountain trails are located lo-cated in nearby Logan Canyon with its scenic byway. It is considered con-sidered by many to be the most beautiful stretch of road between be-tween Salt Lake and Yellowstone. Yel-lowstone. Breathtaking cliffs, a rushing river, aspen groves, towering firs, and wildflower meadows are just a few of the many wonders of this scenic route. If that doesn't strike you, try the Lakeside Bicycle Trail from Bear Lake Marina to Ideal Beach, which offers numerous The car's independent suspension suspen-sion incorporates MacPherson struts matched to coil springs on the front, combined with a 22 mm stabilizer bar. Calibrated wheel alignment and a rigid stabilizer sta-bilizer bar help reduce the tendency ten-dency of the car to squat under acceleration (rise in the front and fall in the rear) and dive under braking. Powertrains that deliver Two engines are available in the Sonata, a 2.0-liter four -cylinder and a 3.0-liter SQHC V-6. A 5-speed manual transmission trans-mission with clutchstarter interlock in-terlock is standard. The 4-speed automatic transmission that is standard on the V-6 is a 32-bit, computer-controlled unit with adaptive control which actually "tunes in" to the driver's habits, .optimizing shift points for hisor her driving style and ever-changing ever-changing road conditions. The four-cylinder engine is standard and has twin-spray fuel injectors and a pentroof combustion chamber. This design helps the engine produce a respectable 137 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 129.0 lb.-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Importantly, Important-ly, the torque is available over a wide range of rpm for ease of driving. Sonata safety is peace of mind Perhaps providing the greatest peace of mind is knowing know-ing that the new Sonata abounds with safety featt'xes like supplemental dual airbags, side-beam impact protection, an anti-lock braking system, an energy absorbing steering column and a reinforced steel frame that helps improve the overall rigidity of the vehicle. The body's structural design -absorbs collision forces through the use of front and rear crumple zones which deform progressively, progressive-ly, absorbing much of the impact energy to protect driver and passengers. pas-sengers. In addition, the Sonata's automatic transmission transmis-sion with shift interlock helps prevent accidental shifting into gear without applying the brake pedal.
