When people say that they're "updating" the look of something, what they usually mean in practice is making it more in line with current fashions. If the old look was classic, this actually a step backward.

but pretty much any kind of physical product fits what you call "fashion business", whether it's a toaster or cars or box of cereals... would you buy a car designed the way HN is ?
Depends how sophisticated the buyers are. And yes, if you could buy a new car that looked like an old Land Rover, I'd be all over it.

100% agree. If I could buy a car that looked (and if possible, sounded) like an old american car (say, Cadillac Fleetwood -55) but with modern specs, it'd be a no brainer.

IMHO Hacker News does a job great in it's super-minimalistic way, but hardly qualifies as "with new specs" UI/UX wise... no A/C or radio for you in your new car, windows can't be rolled down, and sits are just plastic IKEA chairs glued inside ;)
