Exhaust smell when sunroof open

I just picked up my 06 9-3 about a month ago. I'm just now being able to drive with the windows/sunroof open (I live in NH). I seem to notice an exhuast smell in the cabin when I've got the sunroof open. It seems to be worse under heavy acceleration (I notice it most when I go up hills). It seems to go away with the more "stuff" I open (more windows). I cranked up the vent and put my nose near it while this was happening and it doesn't seem to be coming in through the vents.
There's no smell at all when everything's shut and the ACC is on. Is it possible that the exhaust is being drawn in through the trunk somehow? I didn't look in great detail, but I didn't see any breaks in the seals at the trunk. With the way the smell's almost instantaneous and the strength of it, I would expected to see the trunk completely open back there.
Anyone else ever experience this?
