They were still selling them in Mexico until pretty recently tho.

They have (or had) a large assembly plant in Mexico and the bugs were
all over the place last time I was there, by far the most common
vehicle on the road in Mexico City 10 years ago.


We were in a VW cab the last time I was in the Yucatan



We rented a Golf or something like it, to drive from Cancun to Mérida to
Tulum and about a zillion points in between. I think we spent a total of
four hours in Cancun, and most of that was at the airport. Took a day
trip by ferry to Isla Mujeres, rented motor scooters. I understand that
little island is now also overdeveloped.
