it really is unfortunate because this could be a great competitor to the golf r/s3/a35
The latter two aren't sold in hatchback form in the US either. They are only available in sedan form here, which will also be the case for BMW as well (in the form of the upcoming M235i GC).

However, the Mini John Cooper Works GP will also come to the US with this drivetrain, minus the AWD. Not quite an equal to the Golf R since it will lack the AWD, rear seats (and the rear doors - although some would prefer that), but it is a hatchback in any case.
