From my buying experience I aimed for 8-10% for existing stock, on the higher end for end of year models (ie: for you it would be MY2016 model), so you may be able to get higher configuration for your dollar.
In the end I was able to get about 11% throwing in dealer installed hitch since it was minimal cost to them, felt like good value to me. I was also only interested in the 50i, but I was okay with going a bit off what I wanted and I was willing to settle for MY2015 model (I bought end of September, so MY2016 was already available).
I don't think playing the outgoing model card will work since it's still rumors at this point, but I agree the 7-8% is definitely doable. I think you can probably get value added stuff like rubber mats, boot liner, battery tender, etc. stuff you would have bought anyways.
