I saw a story on some news program (I forget where) they talked about the "new car smell" actually being a byproduct of the finishing process, and what you are smelling is actually the evaporation of some of the chemicals, solvents and glues used on the plastics and carpeting on the interior of the car.
In fact manufacturers are trying to eliminate the "new car smell" since it appears that some of these chemicals might not be that good for you to breath. Wish I had a link to share but this was something I saw while channel surfing - or maybe it was Car Talk?
Now, the smell of SAAB leather (ie the Viggen seats) is definitely something I would be sorry to see go.
