    I have worked for 7 months (2010) and then for a period of 5 years (2013 - 2017) at this factory ... it is really inspiring what an incredible team we have at VWdM.
    They have been through so many crisis as well as good times, to hell and back...and still going strong, never lost their passion, their great quality and their pride in what they do! The Vocho was important but the factory is still going strong today!
    Orgullosamente hecho en México, lindo y querido!
    Greetings from WOB
    P.S. The Mariachi - Part killed me 🥰 This was so super cool and Mexican!

      It was pretty emotional. A very significant vehicle in Mexico (OK, around the world) and really meant a lot to the people who worked there. Didn't know its value had climbed. Guess I should have bought one. Darn.

      The Beetle was able to continue being produced for the Mexican market until 2017, but competition was very tough from 1995 onwards with the arrival in the country of the Chevy Corsa/Pop, considered the cheapest car in Mexico (90,000 MXN vs. 140,000 MXN for the Beetle).
      All this caused its sales to decrease every year and it was decided to stop production in 2003.
