This Porsche offering reminds me of the 924/944 series of the 80's
Audi sells a lot of FWD low-end cars. Porsche is in an entirely different class. The 924/944 were a far cry from an ugly, cheap FWD hatchback as well

Audi sells AWD vehicles.. Quattro... Who said the Porshe variant was going to be FWD?

I know Audi sells AWD cars, but my point was they also sell a lot of low end cars (the base A4 and A6 are FWD) so the A3 fits in.

The Porsche version of the Golf could be turboed, AWD, whatever, but it would still be based on a Golf.
