Nothing lasts for a life they said, this can be said of our dear lovely Beetle car popularly known as Ijapa as this may be its last set in terms of production.

Frank Welsch, the R& boss for Volkswagen, confirmed at the Geneva Motor Show there will be no replacement for the current Beetle in the company's lineup. The retro-inspired slot will instead be occupied by VW's all-electric microbus, the I.D. Buzz.

Currently, Volkswagen offers the Beetle as a coupe or convertible, as well as a special "Dune" edition. According to previous rumors, production could end as soon as this year, while arrival for the production version of the I.D. Buzz isn't expected until 2022.

The new Beetle has been in production since 1997, with a new generation arriving in 2011. Before that was the classic Beetle, a rear-engine, air-cooled two-door considered to be one of the most important cars of the 20th century.

There's no word on whether Volkswagen will bring back the Beetle in the future, but considering it's done it once before, we don't see why it couldn't happen again, should the market demand it.

You are banned from nairaland till 2019

Indeed, it's the end of an era. I remember all the fantastic moments I had sitting in the shotgun of this beauty on my way to primary school.
Maybe if I buy one and keep, I could sell it for a million dollars in 2050, Just maybe.

What will happen to the likes of Bora, Jetta, Golf, etc?

The only constant thing in life is change

Who cares? when what am thinking of is to buy an helicopter.

To be honest, I am still missing the 'old' beetle, that I never really liked the 'new' one, so I am not too sad.

But it is strange, VW is getting rid of its brands that sell....not too long ago, the 'Kombi' bus was ended....

They need to stop, nothing last for ever, even aboki perfume will stop.smelling on you one day.

E reach naaw. It has outlived it's relevance

I hear ooooo

scrap

haaaa we will miss beetle

Better, that car na punishment. Air cooling system is punishment

Classic!

Be the ahange

Be the change

That beetle was actually my first car

Did nasty things in there. Good times.

When last did I even see one. Scrap it beg

Original Beetle was OBJ and my dad's 1st car

My first car in 2002

Sold it off around 2007

I regret it deeply

The car had issues, but I think I didn't just have the right mechanical and electrical handlers

If I see I go buy if possible

Before my grandpa died he was acquiring many he wanted to use for what ...

It's good to listen when people talk, you don't know when they are gone and you cannot get the info again from them.

So many things I wish my grandparents told me before they died


Ode to My VOLKSWAGON
I'll miss you VW, I drove you with pride, you almost broke my wrist in changing gear to reverse. Your fuel pump was in front in the boot and made people wonder whenever I join any line in a filling station . Your boot infront was also another confusion. I had to use bicycle chain to lock the boot cos the lock was very difficult and could disappoint. Your engine at the back made noise more than the caterpillar I pass. Your door used to open while I'm in motion, so u tot me to drive wt one hand which I still do and has led to accident while I was driving a benz, and has made people think I'm posing or being proud while driving wt one hand .
I liked the additional side windows that could open like house window and I like the open bottom inside the front of the car, giving more leg space. My first accident was with u against a 504, your injuries were minor to compare to the overhauling we had to do for the Peugeot
I consciously have to learn the 9-3 hand driving. You tot me how to be a rugged driver and endure water entering inside the motor to the seat level. I battled with rats for any food item I left inside you cos of ur many holes!
I could go on. Oh VW, may u b granted a decent resting and be honoured in the records and on the walls of true German machines, hail VW Beetle
