I'd like the new version to feel like a Rolls Royce: it feels classic, but is actually modern.

The current version is more like a Chevy Vega.

Is there another example of this "Rolls Royce" that already exists, or something similar to it? Just trying to picture how it could change.

Will it be possible to somehow add an option to keep it on the old theme, though? Even just from a UI point of view. I am kinda attached to this piece of ass :)

Rolls Royces are ugly as hell though.

Agreed! I am suprised how many people here seem to defend the current design without question. I understand that there is a certain nostalgia attached to it but it looks seriously outdated. Every time I show reddit to my friends they get confused by the unintuitive cramped frontpage look, which might be an indicator that change would indeed be reasonable.

Will it be possible that we can have a classic and new version like many other websites do?

Or like a Kitchenaid. Friendly, yet functional.
