I've seen the Clio before... it has big chrome wheels like 18"s or something

A quick check on wikipedia tells me that the Seat Leon is indeed a MkIV. VW's other brands like Seat, Skoda, etc hang on to the old chassis longer than the main VW brand. Seat used the MkII platform until '99. None of the platforms are out of production yet. They still make MkI Golfs in South Africa and MkII Jettas in China.

Here is a brand new South African MkI



And a brand new MkII Jetta from China. Note that the front end uses headlights from the B4 Passat and front turn signals the MkIII Jetta parts bins. If you could see the dash it would look very similar to the dash in the Passat as well:
