It could possibly render the New Beetle closer to become an effective Beetle replacement, but the presumably shorter remaining lifespan for its platform compared to the 4th-generation Golf and Volkswagen not willing to sell any Polo or its other derivatives in the United States and Canada had their role on the switch to the Golf platform. On a sidenote, considering the Polo Classic and the Caddy were made in Argentina and the Beetle was not a strong seller there as it was in Brazil, would be interesting to say the least a New Beetle made in Argentina.
But anyway, if another attempt to create some modern Beetle-shaped car ever reaches production, I would not be surprised if it follows a Baja Bug revival approach.
