A Michigan environmental group is charging that at least part of the so-called "new car smell" is toxic,
and that the interior of an automobile has dangerous levels of various chemicals.

Giannis, for you:

An environmental group says Volvo is
the auto manufacturer with the lowest
level of toxic chemicals in car interiors.

It's a good thing then that the 'new car smell' doesn't last long...

you made my day, lol.
Actually i didn't know anything about the new car's smell. I just thought it was the smell of the new plastics... BTW, everybody who saw the car in the first one/two months, said that it smelled great. And still does...
