Oh that smell - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

catmaster1 · 05-26-2009, 03:44 PM

Maybe i am the only one who thought of this. When i got my chance to finally sit in a 2010 Camaro(2LT) the first thing that struck me was the smell. it was like no other leather i have ever smelled before. I wish i could have bottled it up and brought it home with me until my 2SS comes in

. I have had very little time in foreign cars like BMW or benz with leather. And when i do they are not brand new. But my 06 GMC did not have that smell, neither did my wifes Acadia. Or any other GM, Ford, or dodge i have ever sat in. I think it is what heaven will smell like when i get there. Anyone else notice this or am i going crazy waiting for my car?????

I thought the smell was unique also, actually really liked it. I won't open the windows or the sunroof to try and keep the smell.

So can I get pics of the build process then?? I hadn't noticed the smell in the Camaros I have been in... however I don't have the best nose and I probably wasn't paying close attention to it. Once mine gets in I will test and verify

I didnt, maybe i can find out what chemicals and dyes it has so i can order some and as my seats dry out i can re-wet them so the smell doesnt go away.
