Do you enjoy the "New Smell"?

I just read a article about "new car" smells. Apparently the smell is bad for us. I for one enjoy it. What do you all think about this? I guess were all doomed to buy used vehicles now.

"Japanese manufacturers, including Toyota, have become the first to set an industrywide goal of reducing cabin concentrations of potentially toxic chemicals — the new-car smell —to within government guidelines."

YES.

Couldn't get enough of it.

Ever walked inside a new camper on a hot summer day. Shoot, we walked in a few and had to walk right back out. Stuff will burn your eyes instantly. They say it's all the glue and formaldehyde.

ya you can get a new car smell hang freshener at many parts stores. Our walmart carries them. My mom has a spray that she uses in my dads 05 dmax that makes it smell like it just rolled off the showroom floor. just check pepboys/oreilly/autozo no, etc.

Mine doesn't last very long. After awhile a stale "fart" smell starts eminating from the driver seat.

Northstar's ad specifically addresses this issue.
