There is a difference between having a 4.7l V8 just to get grocery, then there is 1.4 liter with a super charger AND a turbo. I am saying a reasonable size engine, I didn't say VW needs a V8 or V10 in that little thing. Bigger doesn't mean the biggest.
And then there is something called 1.8l and 2.0l, which VW has a lot to spare.
