VW Golf MK VI first pics - production starts in 2008
This is what the next gen Audi A3 will be based on:

Hmmmmm. Looks like a VW version of the A1

There are some doubts about what platform could be used in the small Audi: the Polo platform should be out of the running (no 4WD)the next A3/Golf VI platform is likely to be too costly, the A1 could be based on a mix of the Polo platform with components from the previous Golf platform.
Autobild goes on about rumours about possible gasoline engines, all twin-chargers: 1.2 TSI 16V, 110 hp/160 Nm; 1,4 TSI 16V in three power-steps (140 hp/200 Nm, 170 hp/240 Nm, 190 hp/250 Nm). As for diesel engines, in 2010 the conversion from pump-duse (PD) to the common-rail injection system is likely to be in full swing, so the A1 could mount the current 1.4, 1.9 and 2.0 TDI, or new, currently unkown, engines.
An S1 version is likely, to compete against the various Mini Cooper S JCW, with a 240 hp variant of the 2.0 Turbo-FSI engine.

I don't know why you say next gen A3 will be based on this.
Per the Chairman's remarks, the next Golf will be based on the existing platform (with accomodations for the new front end and to fit larger trannies for larger engines) and existing powertrains. The changes will be to reduce the production and assembly costs of the body and attachments.
The A3 uses a different body than the Golf, so it is entirely possible there won't be any major changes to the A3 when the Golf VI is introduced.
