New York, Sep 13 (AFP) Volkswagen announced on Thursday that it would end production of its iconic "Beetle" cars in 2019 following a pair of final editions of the insect-inspired vehicles.
The move comes as Volkswagen emphasizes electric autos and larger family-oriented vehicles, said Hinrich Woebcken, chief executive of Volkswagen Group of America. But Woebcken opened the door to reviving the model at some point, saying "never say never."
