Just days before its official release at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, spy photographers have caught these completely undisguised images of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra prepping for a photoshoot. This catch is also just hours after a partial, intentional leak from Hyundai.

The 2011 Elantra will be released with a 1.6 liter Gamma GDI engine which makes 138 horsepower, ,123 pound-feet of torque and is expected to return better fuel economy than its competitors.

The new Elantra will be produced in Hyundai's Montgomery, Alabama production artefact alongside the Sonata.
