I remember watching a story on the news about how the new car smell is actually a carcinogen - it is from the plastics outgasing and that auto companies were working to reduce this "hazard".
I have no idea how true any of it was.

That's correct dishdude....
That new car smell is the "outgasing" of plastic parts in the interior especially the dash because it is in the sun for extended periods of time the heat increases this process.
Yes, the fumes are a carcinogen.

Or car was used as a demo by some bean bureto eaters

Oh, it's out-gassing, alright. We're just lucky that THAT type of out-gassing isn't a carcinogen.
