While I was waiting for an oil change at my local Hyundai dealer today, I was talking with a sales rep about various things. He mentioned that the 2009 Elantra sedans were due in "next month." He also said that they would have styling tweaks from the 2008s (maybe like we've seen in those photos from the Beijing auto show?). I asked him if the GLS would get ESC, as has been rumored, and he said he didn't know yet. He is waiting for the 2009s because they have only one 2008 left, a base 5-speed. He also said he's heard it would be "a few months" before the Touring comes out, which is consistent with the January 2009 date mentioned here earlier.

I do not know if this has been posted yet but I ran up on it by way of another site. Hyundai News has all of the press releases for the 2009 models -including the 09' Elantra sedan-so it is coming soon peps as mentioned. I am just glad the body doesn't change like overseas. Here is the link enjoy: link title.

I wonder if there will be a price increase for 2009? (The price link wasn't active on the linked article.) I am disappointed that the GLS won't have ESC. Hopefully Hyundai will ship more SEs here for 2009--they were pretty hard to find for much of 2008. P.S. Another local (Twin Cities) dealer confirmed that 2009 Elantras would be coming in the next 2 weeks.

Replying to: backy (Sep 13, 2008 5:45 pm)  . Like you, I am surprised at alot that is coming even late. I am going to wait on the new tweaks for sure and as mentioned I am glad the body style stays. The actual website is HyundaiNews.com then choose the Media Kits tag at top and choose 2009 Models. The new suspension tweaks and the 24 inch and 20 inch front and rear bars make for some nice wheels and very sporty drive now for sure I hope. I am also hoping in more SE's available and accessories for sure. I can't wait to see how the new SE performs!

Replying to: bryan_05 (Sep 16, 2008 5:47 pm) Uh, sorry... no way that will happen. That is not an official statement from HMA, but wishful thinking on the part of the author of the article. Consider that a GLS with Preferred Package (A/C, stereo, fogs, some other bits) is over $16k. Compare the equipment on the Touring to that of the GLS. The Touring is much closer to and in some ways exceeds the SE in equipment. Also consider that the last Elantra hatch, from 2001-6, sold for a little more than comparable sedan versions. So I don't see any way the Touring will start for less than the price of the SE, which would put it over $17k with a stick and over $18k with the automatic. In a few weeks, we'll see for sure. But don't count on a $16k sticker for the Touring. Although I wish it were true...
