interestingly enough, the xr5t will undercut the golf gti by about $5k, not sure if theyre at comparable spec levels, but both of them are only available in 5 door versions, even though 3 doors are available overseas.

Um, so a Golf GTI isnt a Hot Hatch? What about the also comparable Megane 225 Turbo Cup? Oh, and the 130i? These arent Hot Hatches?
I think it just appeals to more people if they sell 5 Doors. Have a look at the people buying them. Most people buying it have a young family, so they need something that can fit the kids in the rear easy. Hence, the 5 door is here. Also, the 3 Door Focus isnt sold here just yet... the first one didnt sell like hot cakes, so hence the hesitation in the new model.
