For me, this is a nostalgic European car smell that I wouldn't want to disappear. I had an old 1980 BMW320i at the same time my brother had an 81 320is, dad had a newer 535 and all 3 cars had the smell that is being referred to here 35 years later. The smell was explained to me long ago and I suppose it could be offensive to those who have never experienced it or weren't told the origins of the odors. If the Crossfire is a persons first experience in owning a European smelling car and they don't particularly care for that smell, then I would suggest they should toss a big mac wrapper or a Krystal hamburger box under the seat to give them a more "homey" smell that they might be more accustomed to....Peace
