From the posts here, I'm thinking that they're just talking about the smell of the stuff they used on their car. Notice how many of the posts are saying that the smell comes back after they detail their car....
Other people who smell the car probably attribute the detailer smell for new car smell

I can't smell it anymore but all my friends say they still smell it after a year and half with 32K miles. my advice is be careful what you bring inside the cabin esp. asian food. I learn that lesson with my protege...

i suspect the new car smell comes from the trunk that is not separated from the car with a normal steel bulkhead. the new car smell might be the temp spare tire
