Grandpa's Car (ouch!) Really? What do you all think?

I recently picked up my first 9000 after 15 years of driving the 900. I dissed the 9000 for decades thinking it was a car for snobs. I am more comfortable with it now that its lustre has faded while its engineering and build quality have not. Still I still find it a shade conservative for my taste, even at my age (57), even though I am a grandpa myself.
Is it a grandpa's car or what?
Your opinions, biased though they may be, are most welcome. Thanks!
