Volkswagen has announced it would end production of its iconic "Beetle" cars in 2019, after adding a pair of final editions of the insect-inspired vehicles.
The move comes as Volkswagen emphasizes electric autos and larger family-oriented vehicles, Volkswagen Group of America chief executive Hinrich Woebcken said.
But Woebcken opened the door to reviving the model at some point, alluding to the company's 2017 decision to unveil a revamped Volkswagen Bus as a possible template.
"Never say never," he said in a statement.
