I deduce that you don't live in Brazil, where they definitely do not offer the same quality they do in Europe. In fact, they continued offering the T1 here, while they were selling the T5 in Europe.

They big 4 (Fiat, VW, Ford, and GM) spent decades selling trash in Brazil, because they had no competition.

If all of the big 4 are selling trash in Brazil, lack of competition isn't the problem. If the old models are still legal to sell, they're likely cheaper to make, and have better parts availability than a new model (because of so many of the old model already in the country)
