"New Car Smell" is a KILLER

I'm SO pleased to get confirmation that the awful "new car scent" that people prize (and I despise) is hurting us. My dislike for the scent is not unfounded. :)

TOKYO - Anyone who's pulled away from the dealer's lot in a shiny, new sedan knows the seductive scent of fresh plastic, paint and upholstery that evokes a rush of pride and consumer satisfaction.

But that unmistakable new-car smell may soon be heading the way of the rumble seat: Recent research linking it to a toxic cocktail of harmful chemicals is spurring efforts by Japanese automakers to tone down the fumes.

Is there anything out there that doesn't cause cancer?

I'm still loving my new car smell! :)

I hope you didnt get a jetta. I got in a new one the other day that a friend just bought and it smelt like crayola crayons.
