    Get some Clazzio seat covers. They will impart a refreshed new car smell.

    Replaced with the smell of disappointment?

    Or just the faintest scent of lowered expectations?

    It's the release of volatiles from all the new plastics, textiles and what not. The fact that it doesn't last long is really a function of improved materials. So what I'm saying is you should be thankful that you're livinig a healthier, cleaner life and that any criticisms of it's ephemerality are really just nonsense. :)

    awww man! I heard you went to the Dealership 4 times to report the problem. They said it was part of the trucks "character" and could not replicate problem after the shop porter detailed it. You better start the toyota buy back paperwork.

    the new car smell wasn't a new truck smell and I was mad

    It actually made me sick. I drove with the windows down as often as I could when the new car smell was in the truck

    I was damn happy when the new car smell went away. If you drive a car full of leather, high end wood, etc. I bet it smells nice. With all the rubber and plastic in my truck it just smelled like a new shower curtain or one of those tacky beach shops full of Chinese-made inflatable products.

    If you must fart in your truck at least do it with the windows down it prolongs the new car smell
