It all boils down to VAG branding again and pinsticking each model at a place in the range.
VW aren't allowed to outperform and Audi
Seat aren't allowed to outperform a VW
Skoda aren't allowed to outperform a Seat.
This is why VW will NEVER get a Renaultsport equivalent. Sure, the Golf R and Scirocco R are good cars, but VW will not build a 2 door, 2 seat car with lightweight panels, bucket seats, lightweight alloys, sports suspension, multi-pot track brakes and a roll cage as they are hobbled by VAG marketing.
