We obviously don't understand the concept conservative the same way. Forgive me, I'm a designer by trade and I use the words that have become natural to me. But in my book "conservative" doesn't equal "appeals to old men". The concept goes a little deeper than that.

But there is a problem that younger people don’t like SAAB except for in Scandinavia.. Saab is the olds man car outside Scandinavia and that is a huge problem. That’s why Saab did lunch the Saab 9-2X and they did try introducing Saab to younger people. But it looks like the 9-2X is gone be a disaster do I fell a flashback from Saab-Lancia 600

But to be honest i don’t really care abut Saab anymore I am so tired off al the problem with their new cars and threat of closure from GM and they are probably soon gone be shutdown and in 10 years no one gone know what Saab is maybe a few old die hard Saab lovers

So bye bye SAAB I am gone miss you and the SAAB 99 Turbo will always be a happy memory for me

Ok then, perhaps I should just say "appeals to old men". It's not the words that matter.
