I do! I do! Picked it up on September 17, put 2400 miles on it by December 8 when I parked it for winter. Got it out last week, and now with over 2700 miles, still has that smell.

I'll let you know in a week or two when I finally get it out, but my guess is with only 1500 or so miles on it since last June, it's still there!!

Kendell347 · 03-12-2010, 10:40 AM

Still got it...290 on the OD...picked it up 2/4/10...it helps to drive 2 cars, this way the camaro will always smell new.

StrangeMan · 03-12-2010, 10:42 AM

I hate that "new car" smell... it just means that all the interior plastics, paint, coatings, etc. are still outgassing in many cases toxic compounds: http://www.yourviewplus.com/outgassing_report.htm

It's not as bad as it used to be... I can remember being a little kid and getting sick from my mom's new '69 Nova from all the plastic and vinyl when that thing would heat up

camarowa · 03-12-2010, 11:14 AM

still smells like new, 8000 miles. But I am a little OCD to say the least about keeping the car clean.

600hp-lpe · 03-12-2010, 11:31 AM

yes... picked it up 9/9/09.. 1806 miles.

Buckbo · 03-12-2010, 11:48 AM

Mine still does. Got it last July and have 3k miles.

armysig · 03-12-2010, 11:50 AM

3 months old with about 3700 miles and I still get people commenting on the new car smell when they get in it...I guess a weekly wash, and interior dusting helps.

strobi · 03-12-2010, 11:51 AM

no smell left...had it 3 months....8,000 miles already!
