      The beetle was made until 2003. The new beetle, a different car, started production in 1997. It was manufactured side by side with the original beetle.

      Not the other commenter, but that’s the timeframe for the OG air cooled design which continued to be manufactured until 2003 in Mexico. The New Beetle launched in 1998, was redesigned again in 2011 as the Beetle, and then ended production in 2019.
