DETROIT—After selling it on and off in the U.S. for nearly seven decades, Volkswagen has decided to squash its iconic Beetle. The iconic car sold for about 30 years before U.S. sales stopped in 1979. Volkswagen revived it in the U.S. in 1998 as a more modern “New Beetle,” but it attracted mainly female buyers. Last year VW sold only 8,627, according to Autodata Corp. The special editions, which come in coupe and convertible body styles, get unique beige and blue colours in addition to the normal hues.
