A report out of a Korea this week suggests Hyundai will start production of the redesigned Hyundai Elantra at its Montgomery, Alabama, plant in April 2011. Though Hyundai officials say no decision has been prefabricated on this matter, this would be an entirely reasonable course of events given that U.S.-market versions of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata are built here.

The report also suggests that a redesigned version of the Hyundai Santa Fe would shift production to Kia's West Point, Georgia, assembly plant — also reasonable given that this medium-size crossover would likely share components with the Georgia-built Kia Sorento.
