Ive seen this done with Chevrolet, they are still maming the Corsa B. Brilliant idea to keep production and material costs down!

Eh I'm mildly insulted that VW is still passing this vehicle off as new. Strictly speaking in terms of safety, to sell this car as a 2010 model is pretty much a joke. Are they saying that the Chinese car purchasing public isn't worth the same time and effort as the Euro-American market? You know we wouldn't go for this crap.

I believe the car-buying public in developing markets has the choice of modern cars with modern safety features and older, cheaper cars with hardly any safety features at all. This VW isn't even the oldest design by a long shot. Heck, you can still buy the Hindustan Ambassador (essentially a 1957 Morris Oxford) brand new in India. Given that many buyers have very limited funds available, the older models are still popular in many countries.

Good grief! Well we had the VW Golf MKI as a entry level car updated by VWSA and discontinued in 2010 here in SA. The car was not complying with safety standards anymore and replaced by the previous gen Polo - Now our new entry level car is the Polo VIVO! (It sells a steady 2000+ units per month!)
Don't worry! We do have the complete range of new generation Polo hatches and sedans here (also 2012 Golf, Jetta, Beetle, Passat, Kombi and Caravelle also Tiguan, Touareg, Amarok etc)
The VWSA Uitenhage plant manufactures the new Polo for all right-hand-drive world markets, the Cross Polo for all markets globally and the Polo Vivo for the local market.

Actually, this wouldn't fare much better than a Chinese car in a crash-test.

Looks like a baby Phaeton actually.
Nice choice for the budget-conscious who still want some badge-cred.
