Default Skoda along with "Seat" are other VAG marques that the U.S. does not get . . .

You did not think that VAG produced only Audi and VW did you?

VAG carved up its brands into two distinct product groups: one combining the "sporty" Audi, Seat and Lamborghini marques and the other comprising the "classic" VW, Skoda, Bentley and Bugatti marques.

Thus, at least Audi, VW, Skoda, and Seat all share chassis/ platforms, and at least six of the seven marques share engines. Thus far, Bugatti does not appear to have shared anything with its sibiling companies.

In terms of volume/price quotient: VW, Skoda, and Seat constitute the "volume" marques, while the others constitute "premium" marques.
