I saw some 2010 Elantras at my local dealer today. Without close inspection it's hard to tell them from 2009s, visually. Here's the differences I noted:
 
* The new Blue trim gets a "Blue" badge (in blue, of course) next to the Elantra badge on the trunk lid.
* The plastic piece over the rear license plate has a bit of chrome added along the lower edge, looks classier.
* New grille, with a bit of chrome, but still horizontal bars--looks nicer, but hard to tell apart from the old grille unless a 2009 is side-by-side (which was the case). I think this is an attempt to tie the Elantra visually to the likes of the Genesis and 2011 Sonata.
* A bit higher FE numbers, especially on the Blue but also on the regular Elantras.
* Metallic trim on the wheel and center stack and console is now a brushed-aluminum look, and looks better to me than that patterned stuff on the 2007-9 Elantra.
* Door handles and lock buttons on doors are chromed vs. silver painted.
* Center console has been redesigned and looks nicer, with a flip lid over the cup holders.
* I saw an SE with the new black interior, which has patterned inserts but looks like the same cloth as the grey interior but is... black.
* Not sure if the 2009 SE had this, but the auto shifter has a chrome insert on top.

#3 of 93 Is this a good deal? by xiaoman

2010 Elantra Touring, manual, no other options, OTD 15,000. I live in northern virginia. Is this a good deal? How much more can I negotiate? Shall I ask for a 2009 model instead (somehow I thought the 2009 model is better)? Thank you very much.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
When you say OTD I assume you mean $15,000 plus tax, title and license. Sticker on the car is $16,715 so that's over 10% off sticker. A good deal by me.
 
If that price includes T,T and L then you stole it for that price.

Agreed - INV w/dest = $16,245
             TMV (NOVA area) w/dest = $16,603
 
However, that's with the 2010 rebate of only $500.00
If you picked a 2009, the rebate would be $1500...just a thought...

===========================
 
I'm reading your OTD price as $18,6xx PLUS TTL. If you are getting a low interest rate, then that is a good deal. You are at $2,300 below sticker and I can't imagine you'd do better anywhere else.
 
Don't pay 8 or 9% interest these days though. That blows your good deal out of the water.

You got that right. Austin Telco FCU is quoting 3.69% for up to 60 months.

#10 of 93 Really like the Touring .... but... by lightfootfl

Why is the choice (?) or lack thereof in the exterior color so limited with the light interior? I live in the south, and DO NOT WANT a black interior, or for that matter exterior either. Thanks, but no thanks. Why can I not order something I would like? I think the black exterior looks beautiful, but would never consider buying one. I feel the same way about the inside. Where is the choice in "build it yourself"? Why even have a build it yourself ?
I know, different strokes for different folks.. oh well..
