what you talking about Willis?
That smell is a combination of adhesives, plastic manufacturing, paint, and other things im sure. The reason they smell the same from one car to the next is because all cars are made of this. Some cars that have leather no doubt add its own unique flare to this already existing smell.
With new "green" manufacturing techniques the smell is not as strong and im sure in the future will be none existent. So there are companies trying to replicate it because of this reason but it definitely originated from chemicals and it is still that way in most if not all vehicles today.
