There's air fresheners you can purchase for your car that have the "vinyl off-gassing" new-car smell.

Saw in interesting report a while back on just what the 'new car smell' was. Jazz is correct, it's all the interior materials 'off-gassing' the chemicals they were made with. Some cars (I don't remember which ones) that they tested bordered on toxic levels to the human body. So while there is nothing like that smell, not sure that I would want to keep it around much longer than I had to!

Here are a few links with more details:
