I'm a bit proud to say, I predicted something like this a while back, I think on a VWVortex thread... Basically, while the Bug was aging, a fresh exterior and (most importantly) nixing the pitifully outdated 115 hp 2.0l for the 150 hp 2.5l I5 would help bring the Beetle at least close to class-leading.
Looks like it worked.
