From Hemmings Motor News, the VW bus production ceased at the end of 2013. These were powered by the water cooled 4. The basic shape is timeless and recognizable on any street corner in the world. The last kombis have a "56" logo on it, commerating its 5+ decades of service.

This was posted last year. Brazils new safety or fuel emissions laws (I forget which) went into effect 2014/1/1. It was too much $$$ to re tool and change design. Many, many Brazilian business' depend upon these VW vans and many said they will go out of business w/o them. Look for these to be snatched up.
