Three decades later, the Beetle or "Bug" as it was affectionately know, became a symbol of the 1960s. In het late 1970s Germany stopped producing Beetles, but in 1998 Volkswagen rolled out the New Beetle, which was meant to be a visual flashback to the original Type 1 design but was essentially a VW Golf. Another variaton (Beetle A5) was introduced in 2012, but sales have been steadily declining. On 10 July 2019 the final car left the assembly line in Puebla, Mexico.
