Eroblue11 The fact that they still had to produce Beetles means that there is still some amount of demand for it. Adding that to the fact that this model just screams "Volkswagen" confuses me more as to why they would stop making one of their most recognizable cars. Heck, I'd probably be driving a Beetle if I had the money and a driver's license.

I would like to own a Volkswagen Beetle.

I bought a used 2012 VW Beetle five years ago with 14K miles. I was not looking for a VW when I bought this. It now has 124K miles and I must admit it has been one of the best mechanically cars I have ever owned, and I am 70 years old. Still on it’s second set of tires and brakes look like they have never been used. I keep it tuned and been getting 34 MPG. Love where all the controls are located. Fun to drive and easy to maneuver in traffic. Been kicking around the ideal buying a new convertible and put it in the garage for an investment. May give it to my grandkids once they become old enough to drive.

i’m kind of mad at this :( i want a beetle and now the only options are used. i feel like they could’ve just make less of them if it wasn’t selling as much as before. plus, like everyone said, it’s such an iconic car that it makes no sense and it’s so easy upgradable, the design isn’t dead. they could easily make it more “moder” or futuristic looking while keeping the round look. lastly, beetle is already a special car, imagine if it could be electric. like you mentioned, it’s attractive and not impossible. in my opinion they just shouldn’t have discontinued it.

Always wanted a Beetle and someday soon I WILL buy one!!!

this beetle has great potential as an electric!

I always wanted one of these and I finally got one last year I absolutely love it and am amazed at the performance of the dsg 7 speed gearbox the performance is quite impressive ...... I will keep my car forever 🥰

Damn you Volkswagen, killing off a legend and the car that made Volkswagen an international brand.

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these as a second car. The fact that I won't be able to get one after this year, and that this one looks so good, makes me want it even more.

Don’t be sad, they’ll bring it back.... again... just like they did with this generation and the one before

Favorite All Time was a 1978 and 1/2 Wolfsburg Edition Cabriolet. Triple white. Fuel injected, insulated top. perfect for Minnesota summers and winters

Thank you mr Porsche...I very interesting body disign....wow

I have a 2014 beetle and I still love it. I would love to be able to get another brand new one. I think it will come out again one day. Look how many cars are back out again. Beetles are so fun to drive!

Thank you for reviewing cars alot of reviewers forget to review. Your reviews are great.

Por favor no dejen de producir tan Hermoso Bello Automóvil Beetle es hermoso por dentro y por Fuera es el Porche del Pueblo Automóvil Totalmente Deportivo por Favor Muchas Gracias 🙏🏻

The Beetle is the perfect shape to be an affordable electric vehicle. The Nissan Leaf is the highest total-volume selling EV, and it's roughly the same size. If Volkswagon were to make a new, affordable EV like the Leaf or the Renault Zoe- they simply couldn't match the recognition of the Beetle.

Aww i love the way beetle cars look they just aren't very particular but i still wish i could buy one if i had the money I'd buy one just because they are just such a classic little car! Sad that they won't be making them anymore.

VW Beetle is so cute!!!! I would surely buy this as my first car but they don't sell it in my country anymore :(

Damn it seems like these models just came out. I had a 2012 model of the beetle. Loved it!

I think seeing a SEAT in the US would be more exciting than seeing a Final Edition or Wolfsburg Edition Beetle.

I love my 2015 Beetle, I have had it for 2yrs. I'm hoping to find a newer one next year. It's sad they're discontinuing it,but like before, it'll probably be back.

If the Beetle were to come back in the future (which I'm almost certain will happen at some point or another) it will most likely be a small electric RWD city car with its battery motors out back and sport not just a hatch but a "frunk". Sounds familiar, doesn't it? ;) I honestly feel like a resurrected electric VW Beetle, or "I.D. Bug" perhaps, will be more true to the original Beetle's roots. Sure, it sounds like VW might want it to be a 5-door, but if it were priced competitively it would be a huge hit. Let's hope and continue to look towards the future, but in the meantime, we should give the Beetle a warm farewell.

Please keep the beetle. Love that car.

The Beetle was a great idea and good looking. They don't sell them because of notorious quality control plus they mismanaged special editions. Didn't market the VR6 all over as performance cars were selling. Wouldn't have eroded Golf sales. Dune should've actually been somewhat off-roadable like a Subie. Electric Beetle would be cool

If they sold the Beetle with an option for stick they would sell more. I have always liked the looks of the VW Beetle... so I wish VW sold lots of Beetles .. Then if I buy 1 .. someone doesn't assume it's because I want to stand out.

I was in a VW dealership last weekend and they had an old poster that said "VW will never kill the Beetle." It sounds like they just did. Why would VW lie to me?

Excellent video. I'm glad I found this channel.

I love these cars. Wish they'd consider making them again.

That's one fine-looking car.

It’s unfair!! I wanted this for my 16th birthday it’s such a cool car and its old fashioned and small I love it😭😭

The beetle died when the air cooled versions faded out. (Emission laws killed it mainly) My brother had one and we called it the "Atomic Cockroach" because you couldn't kill it. Just kept running.

What a pity that the Coupé is not produced anymore. Lucky ones who possess one.

Hope one day we have an electric beetle.

This is a car that i will buy, because that's car that i love since i was 3 y o.

A harlequin beetle at 1:40 . That’s sick haha

Have a 2014 Beetle i5 with Carbon Fiber sport seats, and charcoal grey inserts, obvious Porsche came in, and was like, let's make this a Super Beetle, so glad I own one. Tell me why, Porsche is already trying to get me in a Cayman S now 😆

That license plate, "JUNK" is perfect.

A future new authentic electric beetle. Good idea.

Return to production a version of the 1998 Volkswagen Beetle model. I love this car.

And Hitlet's legacy still lives on.

I have a 98. 💖 It. Will remain my Toy Car.🙂

I am sure that VW will make an electric Beetle.My Parents owned a 1972 VW Beetle 1300 and also a VW Golf C.Come on Volkswagen build another Beetle.Its too iconic to die.

I Liked the 2019 VW Beetle. It was a Fun Rental Car.

I was sad when in 2003 the last real Beatle was built. Though for the new model, I couldn’t care less. The only reason I would be sad would be because the name “Volkswagen Beatle” would finally be discontinued. Though of course, people will always keep the Beatles on the roads. They will never go away completely. The Volkswagen Beatles will live on through the legacy they built and the car enthusiasts that will never part with these magnificent machines!

Here's the type of consumer VW is trying to mislead, folks.

Now that they have perfected the Beetle they're going to cancel production? Are they nuts? They should go on and make a fully electric one as well. It's such a great shape! Hated the New Beetle's first edition. It looked like a "Barbie" toy car.

I'm gonna miss the Beetle! I sure hope they resurrect it as an electric car like the new Microbus [the ID Buzz] sometime in the future.

For its design I always adored the New Beetle, purely from an aesthetic point of view. Specially this last edition is gorgeous. What a pity it never caught public adoration. The Mini has and the Fiat 500. Why has the New Beetle failed. Perhaps too pricey, costly maintenaince, expensive parts and unpractical all being major factors. However, when something is truly loved, there will always be people bying it. The New Beetle at first could be seen almost daily here in Europe. However, they have vanished soon after a few years. SUV's are the hot trend as well I suppose. It is only logical that VW ends the New Beetle in favour of what people actually want to buy. I truly hate SUV's btw. They all look alike now as well. Gladly Volvo still is big in the market of Gorgeous estates. I'm not particularly keen on VW's model programme anyway, considering recurring significant problems related to engines, transmissions and cost of ownership... Good for business lease plans they are of course, lol. But for the New Beetle, yeah, unloved it was I suppose.

VW will most likely release an electric Beetle in the future. Which sounds cool.

Quality control for the Beetle has taken a nose dive! The complaints about inferior materials runs into the millions! This car built in Mexico, falls apart due to UV damage to the interior.

If they had continued to offer the Beetle "turbo" performance edition, I would have bought one a few years back. I guess they didn't want it to compete with the GTI / R ?

@jeffk464

Its basically a mk6 GTI.

An electric beetle at a price point equivalent to a Tesla model 3 would sell ridiculously well in Europe particularly

But I thought Wolfsburg editions were supposed to be special because they actually come from the Wolfsburg factory. When did that end?

The big problem with this car is its price They command a premium over this car which this doesn’t meet If it was competitive it would’ve been big. If the dune was AWD at least or something.. The golf is more competitive than this. In an era where value is king, this will die Don’t get me wrong, this car has a lot of meaning for me, I learned how to drive stick with my grandfathers beetle That was my first car, it saddens me but also it doesn’t surprise me. I wish VW handled this better

The beetle has deserved for this.

If you could include mpg equivalents in your reviews it would help those of us in the U.S. I enjoy your reviews.

Very interesting video and very good creation, greetings from Tabasco México I will subscribe right now!

I’m so heartbroken, it’s my dream car and I want one so bad

I have the 2014 Beetle Convertible ....The Car that sold more cars in World in History....and they end it....Nuts

My dream car ! I have 2013 beetle hatchback . It makes me sad there making there last run but I’ll definitely have to invest in this

VW should produce the beetle again and keep it under 20,000. That market is untouched now and America needs a reliable, low cost auto.

Make a new beetle in the form factor of the old one, electric, with the motors on the back... and with an affordable price tag and it will sell like hotcake

I got to check out one of these today wondered what it was because it was actually pretty luxurious 😂

There needs to be a final edition that is performance based model leaving the Beetle on a last hoorah

Since I watched Transformers I, I dreamed to have this. An absolute dream car 🚘

New Beetle line failed because they skyrocketed the prices, it was never the "corolla/sentra" the classic Beetle was. VOLKSWAGEN, PEOPLE'S CAR.

SuperEtab the beetle dune drives like the GTI, im a vw enthusiast so i own both a GTI MK7 and a beetle dune, despite both have the 2.0 engine the GTI has 10 hp more and 70 Nm + torque at least in my country, the dune feels quicker at the acceleration ( i was really surprised), the torsional rigidity feels better in the dune and the aero is definitely better in the dune, i can drive at 160 km/ hr with both windows down and there is no air turbulence you can even have a conversation without problem, that in the GTI is not possible from 100 km/hr or less, off course the GTI handles like a sportscar and has better equipment but i agree with you that vw should have made the beetle more sporty, but i really believe that it a very underrated car, at the basics (aero, torsional rigidity, acceleration) the dune feels better i promise

That color is beautiful
