One of our camera-bearing readers managed to snap some photos of a pre-production 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring making its way down I-75 in Florida. Compared to the Elantra Touring concept version we saw at Chicago, this one seems to have exchanged the orange rectangular indicator on the quarter panel for a clear oval. There are also turn signals integrated into the mirrors, something not found on either the Chicago version or the Beach Cruiser edition.

Is this a higher-spec model or are all of them getting the change? We're not sure, but it makes sense given that they're trying to position the Elantra Touring as a feature-laden value car when compared to the Mazda3 and Toyota Matrix. Notice any other differences?
