Volkswagen is about to end production on the VW Beetle—better known to many drivers as "the Bug". And while there were rumors about a next generation electric version of the iconic vehicle, the company says that car will not be made. The distinctive rotund vehicle has been a part of the automotive scene since 1938. It took off in the 40s and became a part of pop culture in the 60s and 70s, when it was virtually impossible to drive through a neighborhood without seeing it parked in at least one driveway. It’s possible the Beetle will rise again somewhere down the road, but Volkswagen officials hint that won’t be anytime soon.
