New car smell.

I guess times change....maybe. People indeed used to like the new car smell....so much, in fact, that research was done to analyze the chemicals causing the smell and to reproduce them in a spray can form.

Maybe people today are more cautious about what they are breathing.

I want new cars to smell like butcher's wax, freshly-cut mahogany, and fresh leather again.

I have never owned a new car before, so I guess I just don't know.

Smells like a Volvo, but you have to throw a whiff of gasoline in.

The out gassing of all the plastic in new cars does not smell good. WW

How about one that Smells Like Teen Spirit? Uh, never mind...

That's what happened to that plastic windshield wiper bushing on my 1983 Dodge van.It kept on out gassing till it dried out so much and it broke into little pieces. cuhulin

I was a teenager in the '70s. Then I dried out and broke into little pieces. And here I am now, an old fart. In little pieces.

I'm still in big pieces.

I always liked "old car smell." Decaying wood and seat fabric, subject to rain and sun. Think I picked that up as a tyke on grand dad's farm when I would sit in one of the old model A or T Ford trucks junked in the back 40. Always liked holding the wheel and moving the gear shift. Never forgot the smell, or the hornet nests. Plastic doesn't do it for me, and I can take or leave leather. Wood is good, especially with boiled linseed oil.

I was a teenager in the 1950's.I have long since dried out.But, I still ''out gas'' every little once in a while. Quick somebody, hand me pen so I can autograph ''that one'' before it gets away. cuhulin

They didn't *used* to be all plastic. At one time people actually used cloth and leather in cars.

And hair (mohair?) for seat padding. cuhulin
