One thing I've noticed about the Scion XA...

I've never smelled that from another Toyota.

I've never smelled a new Toyota.

Frankly, I don't even know what a "sulfuric fart" smells like. Could you tell us or describe what it smells like.

My Toyota smells like a beer.

All of ours make that smell when we use either the heating or AC; apparently we're not the only ones, from what I've read here.

It's a rare treat...

Rotten eggs - or your teenage son

LOL even hubby's beer can't overcome that putrid odor

That could be the result of cheap quality gasoline wreaking (or would that be "reeking") havoc with a sensitive catalytic converter. Had you ever tried different gasoline brands (regardless of octane)?

Isn't it amazing that a piece of gorgeous child like that can grow up into something who can make such a horrendous STINK?...never ceases to amaze me...

"character," to say the least.... ;)

Since moving here last June, I have been using Shell V-Power, hoping that would help, and it seems to reduce the occurrences of the smell, but it didn't obliterate it.

Yes! Craig's Odor Eaters threw up

You have EXELLENT taste! I sent a nasty letter to Rolling Stone, berating them for forgetting to add David Byrne to their list of 100 'immortals' - freaking Mad-Donna and Twitney were featured, but no David. It's sacrilege. I've subscribed to them for about 30 years, but I gave them the boot!

How'd YOUR son end up with MY genes????

I was taking off my shoes one night and my 4YO son was about 2 feet away, and he cast up his nose and went Sniff....Sniff...Poor kid...

To solve this problem, have him take off his socks at night and change shoes every other day. After years of doctors, etc, one FINALLY asked me if I wore my socks at night. Problem solved!!!

I have never had a Toyota emit the Sulfuric Fart...only my Nissan 240SX. And that thing smelled BAD!!!!

Nah, it's a male DNA thing... Bob has stinky feet too

LOL

I always wear socks - it's something from my childhood, I'm sure; makes me feel more secure (I also close closet doors - pretty pathetic for a

I heard Nissans stink in very possible way :-)

Natalie

I was going to say I wasn't going to dispute that, BUT it did handle great and was as FAST as stink!! ;) And it just OOOOZED Cooooool.....

Build quality was poor and the amount of parts I had to replace at only

Same here, but the Dr told me if I wanted to lose the smell, lose the socks...

He was right.

Since we are on smell

Why are men turned on by sight/smell of a female dressed in leather?

Reminds him of his pickup truck!

Anyhow, I've never noticed the smell from Toyotas But have once in a while caught a whiff on the highway. Possible as one of you said gasoline formulation/source may cause it.

Got only knows that we got to have the best/purest/sweetest gasoline here in California as much as we pay for it (Majors today are $2.499) in Redding
