Hyundai Elantra While not much larger than the accent, the Elantra offers similar room, but a sportier look and feel, as well as more power.

My daughter just bought a 2010 hyandai elantra. How can I tell if it is the "blue" or the "GLS" or the "SE"?

The vin decode thing says its a 'man blue" model. Now i'm more confused. The book says the man blue doesnt have the auto trans option but this car has auto trans and cruise and alloy wheels and all the goodies on the SE model.???

If it has alloy wheels, it's most likely an SE.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2010 Hyundai Elantra is a small sedan available in Blue, GLS and SE trim levels. The base Blue model is a bit of a stripper and only includes 15-inch steel wheels, full power accessories, keyless entry, a 60/40-split-folding rear seat and a tilt-only steering wheel. An optional Comfort package adds air-conditioning, cruise control and a CD/MP3 player with a USB/auxiliary audio jack. The GLS model includes all the Blue's standard and optional features plus foglights. The SE model tops off the features list with 16-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, a telescoping steering column and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. A power sunroof is optional on both GLS and SE trim levels, but heated front seats are only offered on SE models.

Thanks Nova but my confusion continues! It does have 16" wheels. Also, the options listed on the VIN decoder says that 'blue man' didn’t not come in red. The car my daughter bought is red and hasn’t been repainted!
BUT!!!! The VIN decoder says that it is the 'man blue'???
Although I think we got a great deal on the car, the SE is worth considerably more than the blue. Is it likely the VIN is wrong?

Possibly. The code in the VIN that determines the trim level is too generic. The Blue, GLS and SE all used the same code. So the VIN doesn't help. You have to go by the options the cars has. If it has 16" alloy wheels, it's probably an SE.
