Miscommunication seems to be a direct result of misplaced, text based sarcasm.
i think clutch has it right. Oz gets the good bits of everything, although with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Why does it need to be a hatch.
The US market have voted, time & time again, against small hatchbacks (the Prius being a pious exception).
Given the opportunity, they will buy the sedan verson.
Different market conditions etc.

I'm not arguing for or the 1 series, i'm asking if it's on sale as a hatch/how popular it is as a hatch as an indication of how well a premium hatchback will sell in America.

Well the Mini is a good example of that and it seems to sell well in the US.

i suppose the golf does well too, and is not merely a fashion statement like the mini seems to become in certain places haha.

We've had a lot of hatches over the years...until SUV's came along then the product mix began to change.
Currently we have the Mini, Saturn Astra and Golf....and probably a few meaningless cheapo hatches.
'From' is a difficult word as many bands are owned by multinational corporations that officially may base one place but are partially owned by all sorts of companies all over, not to mention the actual cars and even parts of often manufactured locally. Where cars are sold is probably a better descriptor.
Now, I won't go off on how the U.S. currently doesn't get the normal FORD focus version , but we do get some hot hatches. Honda Civic RS, Mazdaspeed 3 for instance.
