There's nothing like a bit of rumour and speculation to get everyone in a lather.
After my initial searching around lease lists and brokers who seem to generally be more up to speed than VW's own configurator I asked our resident forum dealer insider and he confirmed a few things for me.
As per the brokers sites, the £135 "inflationary increase" for all Golfs came into effect on 27th April.
This is for 2015 models 'in stock' really before the big increase hits for 2016 'sporty' models.
The GTI/D goes up £920 and the R £670 for 2016 model year cars.
The Gen ii stuff is confirmed for 2016 MY but the drop down on the configurator that still lists Nav, KESSY and Winter Pack are not on the list of what the dealers have in their possession as standard kit yet; it's still optional at time of writing.
There seems to be other interesting stuff going on with other models too but I'll not drag this off topic.
If you're about to sign on the dotted line I'd ensure you do it under the proviso of expected spec until VW confirm what model year and final spec you're getting.
