By poverty spec cars do you mean omission of certain clubsport specs like the red edged seat belts /normal sills?
Have emailed VW Germany head office about this but they keep referring me to VWUk, the very people who don't know anything about their cars apart from marketing PR
Poverty spec is a commonly used term from the motortrade to describe a car with no options fitted.
It came from the days when you were lucky to get carpet and a heated rear screen as standard, never mind luxuries like a basic radio or a passenger side wing mirror. A bit of a misnomer nowadays but it's an amusing enough depiction in a British sort of way so is still used.
