Volkswagen Beetle (1998-2019)
Memories of the mania that accompanied the introduction of the front-engine, front-drive, built-in-Mexico “New Beetle” has faded. It was big news, and demand for the car was intense. VW sold 83,434 of them in 1999 alone. But the novelty wore out, and the introduction of a second-generation Volkswagen Beetle for 2012 didn’t change the trajectory. Only 14,411 were sold in 2018.
2019 sales through October: 16,503
