If VW is making a heavier appearance in the selection now, particularly the Golf, in several places (EWR and YYZ threads both mention this now), there might be a unifying reason: Less impacted by the chip shortage, more cost-effective, etc.
I had a 2020 Golf earlier in the year as well. For sure the best ICAR out there with a 1.5L turbo engine and decent chassis. All Golfs in the US comes with a panoramic roof but with manual climate controls. The Golf sold in the US right now is one generation behind Europe and built in Mexico so VW is probably giving Enterprise a good deal on them.
