you're paying more for the badge. skoda octavia vrs or seat cupra ibiza is just as good and far cheaper

Not the same class. Both of the cars you mentioned are bigger and not classified as super compact city cars (or whatever else they call them). You should compare it to the Mini S or Alfa Mito Q. As for the FWD instead of AWD, I'm glad to know they're holding something back for a possible (fingers crossed) RS1?

I think a Jetta in R version would sell in the us not in europe

whats wrong with audi? first off a FWD S-Model doesnt make sense marketingwise although they might not have a choice cause the polo base it's build on doesnt offer a quattro / 4motion does it? and secondly naming it S1 - cmon the S1 is rally history and therefore not the proper badge for a pimped out Mini Cooper S competitor

A 4WD Mini competitor would be interesting, although weight might be an issue too though.

In back side, Jetta is just a copy of Audi A5, and in front side, a copy of VW Polo. Nothing spectacular.
