I got my 04 in July with 5,xxx miles on it. When I first took the test drive I commented on how bad it stunk. When I brought it home, everyone agreed. After a couple months of daily use, either it is gone, or I don't notice it any longer, at all. Probably a combination of both, but if it is still there it is very faint. My wife doesn't comment on it when she rides in it with me either.
