The other 9 cars?

Yep, I think the Mini would be in there along with the Beetle. Tapioka discounts the largest mass produced vehicle of all time. Virtually continuous production on the same chassis from 1934 to 2003 or thereabouts. The ONLY reason it went out of production in Mexico (where it was the most popular Taxicab) was the Federal Government changed the law to mandate that Taxicabs have four door, and the Nissan Altima was the replacement.

 

Even though briefly VW de Mexico considered a stretch Beetle...

 

I mean you had almost 70 years on the SAME platform (unlike Toyota and it's claim of 'best selling all time 22 million units-Corolla'---anybody who thinks a 2012 Corolla even faintly resembles a 1969... You look at a 34 Beetle, and a 2003 Beetle and it's almost like you could swap body parts -- hell, you may have been able to!)

 

I think Adolph and VW AG got their tooling cost recovered.
