They wouldn't pass emission tests for Mexico City for a while now, though (I was there when the ones already on the street started disappearing in favor of Tsuru there). But they were/are also very common in other cities in Mexico, even after new ones stopped being sold. I wasn't aware they made full Beetles until 2003, though I knew they made repair parts.
