Audi A1

I ordered an Audi A1 in January and have discovered a facelift of the car is in the pipeline, obviously if this is a significant revision I do not want to buy the old model. My orderded car has a build week of 20. I have read of possible changes to lights and bumper profiles with maybe the 1.4 cylinder on demand engine horspower being increased to 150 bhp......any truth in this?

Yes. Lot of updates feeding through into the A1. Relaunch of the 2009 VW Polo on which the A1 is based this week and that will have the 150PS 1.4 ACT. So I would guess that any shared engine updates are already in production. The EA211 engines are actually built by Skoda. (They had to drop the 1.4TSI 180 because it uses too much oil.)
