It"s official production of the Volkswagen Beetle has ended, though we knew this day was coming. While the Beetle"s pre-war conception is well documented, it was thanks to the people who reclaimed it and transformed the Beetle"s image in the 1960s and 70s that helped cement the car"s legacy. Since then, with the introduction of the second and third generations, the Beetle was the one car in the VW line up that retained a genuine sense of individuality and identity. Even if was a bit hit and miss. And it"s being killed off to make way for compact SUVs and crossovers.
