Hyundai Elantra Teased Ahead of Los Angeles Auto Show Debut

Hyundai has just released a lighthearted "spy photo" of the next-generation Elantra on their Twitter page in advance of the compact sedan's debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week.

Hyundai showed the above photo of the next-generation U.S.-spec Elantra (and a staged, startled PR rep) with only a bit of sheetmetal exposed on Twitter today.

The Elantra will be built at Hyundai's Montgomery, Alabama, production facility alongside the Sonata, starting later this fall, and will reach dealerships in early 2011.
