April 6, 201510 yr Last month, we reported that Volkswagen could be cutting the Polo 3-Door and Beetle as a way to save costs. But Autoblog reports that the Beetle will live on. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, member of the board of management responsible for development at Volkswagen said that the Beetle will continue, with a new model coming sometime in the next 3 years. The next-generation Beetle will move to the MQB platform which allows such options as a hybrid and a electric version. Neusser also went onto say that the Beetle "will remain an emotional design." But that it would be shaped with a new design language. Source: Autoblog View full article
April 6, 201510 yr and here I was wondering why VW brought out 3 Beetle concepts at NYIAS if the car was dead car rolling...
April 6, 201510 yr Based on many bugs having been changed over to pure electric, I think this is a perfect auto for CNG, BioDiesel, Hybrid and pure EV versions.
