A MAJOR car brand is reportedly considering scrapping an iconic model, with sources saying its future is “up in the air”.
Bosses at the industry giant are believed to feel that rising costs and the push towards electric cars may justify scrapping one of their bestsellers.
Sources at VW told the Financial Times that the company is weighing up the idea of killing off the Polo model before 2030.
Rolling off production lines since 1975, the car is the second most sold VW worldwide, but now hangs in the balance.
The current generation is slated to run until 2026, but there is no word on its future beyond that.
