Remember in Pathfinder all of the shape change abilities do not turn you into the bestiary version of the monster but a "you" version of the monster.
You can take the form of anything that is the same type (animal, magical beast, elemental, giant, dragon, etc based upon spell or ability name) but you still are limited to what your ability scores are plus whatever the static abilities changes are provided by the spell to things like STR, DEX, CON, and Natural Armor.
Finally, each spell lists movement and special attacks/defenses that you can select if the form you turn into has those abilities.

Except elemental body spells are different. They list specifically what you get for the four classic elemental types, they are not "modifiers + abilities" like the other polymorph spells. So I would say that no, you cannot change into them.
You can, however, summon them. The summon spells list Elemental(any), so they work there.

Hey all,
So is the jury still out on how elemental body works with Best.2 elementals? RAW?
Cheers!
Since the spell specifies those four types of elemental, I think the answer is definitely "no" as of now. The spell would have to get an update to specify what abilities you'd get from the new elemental types.
