That seems odd since the leather interior comes with the LX models not
the GLS. At least that's the way I understand it.

And you are correct...LX has leather; GLS does not.

This should answer your questions, from the
http://www.new-cars.com/2003/2003-hyundai-elantra-gls.html website:

Fuel system electronic multi-port fuelinjection, four-jet fuel injectors,
in-tank fuel pump

The GLS is the entry-level model in the 2003 Hyundai Elantra lineup. While
it doesn't boast the premium appointments of the uplevel GT trim, it doesn't
neglect the necessities either.

So, to answer your questions:
Fuel injection--No carb, and GLS is just a code for the trim style, it
doesn't stand for anything.

Veel success...
Doe-ie!

L, GL and GLS were common equipment/trim level designators on Ford cars in
the UK when I was growing up. I always believed they stood for
Grand/Grande, Lux/Luxury, and Super respectively.

Perhaps the X in LX stands for eXtra? Although for some manufacturers, the
"x" indicates 4-wheel drive.

The absence of an "i" as a designation no longer means the car isn't fuel
injected. I believe some manufacturers stopped using the "i" after GT
because of the associated negative image of "boy racers", as well as high
insurance costs, etc.

It doesn't really matter what the letters actually stand for most of the
time, as long as you know what you're getting when you buy a car.
