Also, it is official from VW on both counts, R gets manual and auto here in US, S3 auto only. It was reiterated in a press release just this month.

It's funny to find this thread here, I was dead-set on an R, but once I started researching past VW lease rates and estimating new ones, the R i was planning on getting leases for about the same amount as an almost maxed out m235i. So now, I'm starting to consider the m235i as a real possibility. Plus, can you say European Delivery?
There is no way in the world the S3 will lease out nearly as well as the m235. The R might be in the same ballpark but really why would you want to do that?
