One of our eagle-eyed readers snapped these exclusive photos of a not-so-heavily camouflaged compact coupe model in California.

Alfred Hong tells Carscoop: "Snapped these pictures in Fullerton, California over the weekend. I believe it to be the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Coupe! I know this car will debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but I have yet to see some good spy shots on the web."

Well Alfred, you're spot on: indeed, what we see here is the much anticipated, 2012 (or 2013MY) Hyundai Elantra Coupe. However, we're not 100 percent sure that it will make its world premiere at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

In an earlier posting today, Autoblog's head honcho John Neff said that the South Korean automaker would wait until next February for the Chicago Auto Show to unveil the coupe to the public.

For the second time in less than two months, a Carscoop reader has snagged pictures of a prototype version of the next iteration of the Hyundai Santa Fe, which will most likely be renamed to iX45 in select regions including Europe.

In September, it was Italian reader Landoni Corrado who photographed the Korean SUV while traveling in California's Death Valley, and now these photos come courtesy of Alp Berker from half way around the world near Istanbul, Turkey.
