@AKX Thanks for the info. I thought it was £5k previously.
There have been previous examples of people ordering a car and receiving the facelift due to long build times. The simple fact remains that once the LCI goes into production there’s no physical way that you can get the pre facelift model. It just can’t happen as the cars won’t exist! I don’t think orders would be cancelled, nor do I think that you’d have to order again. You’d just get the LCI model. It may have more standard kit but, equally, standard kit might have been removed ?
FWIW I wouldn’t be surprised if the £500 hike in AP reflects the fact that the expectation is that those ordering now are getting the LCI model.
