Mexican Puebla released the latest Volkswagen Beetle

The day before yesterday in the Mexican plant in Puebla, rolled off the latest Volkswagen Beetle.

However, the completion of production of this model in retro style, the Volkswagen group announced earlier. The second generation Beetle hatchback was introduced in 2011, replacing the first generation New Beetle (1997-2011), in turn succeeded rear-engined "Bug" produced (also in several generations) in 1938-2003 years.

If the classic VW Beetle (Kdf from 38 to VW 1303) was released 21.5 million, the front-drive successor has sold much more modest circulation of 1.2 million (mostly in North America), and the third VW Beetle (approximate the contours of the silhouette of the classic model) found slightly more than half a million fans.
  
Business is business – concern Volkswagen has decided to replace its plant in Puebla lost popularity model is more popular crossover with 2020 here will begin producing the model of the Volkswagen Tarek (based on the Chinese model VW Tharu).

PS That ended the history of the cult of "Volkswagen Beetle", however, the so called old school hatchback, and ultimately the newest RR never officially a "beetle" was not. In any case, an example of this model shows that a retro should keep an ear out, if English Mini it, the Volkswagen is by and large not. Maybe in the future something like that will have on electric mobility platform MEB.
