I've just got an email through from DriveTheDeal (having previously got a quote from them on the 8v) stating the following:
"We are emailing to advise you that Audi have announced there will be a manufacturer price increase with effect from 1st July. If you are thinking of ordering a new Audi A3 then we strongly recommend placing the order by the 27th June at the latest to avoid paying more"
I've not seen any mention of it elsewhere, which initially made me thinking that it was probably just the dealer they used was cutting the discounts, but having now re-read it, it actually states "manufacturer price increase"
