Don't worry; it's normal.
All of the fluids, adhesives, etc. will burn off relatively soon and the foul smells will cease.

Yeah, I had that problem for the first 200 miles but now I'm at 400 and I'm not smelling it any longer.....

I have heard from others its normal

I know that's a normal thing, but I don't quite understand how car companies get away with it? I can't imagine that most people would be happy to hear "Enjoy your new $10,000-$100,000 car! It's going to smell absolutely foul for a few days!"

You know what I drive. Pictures.

You also have a clutch and brakes that have never been used being rubbed heavily through mechanical friction. It's unavoidable.

Mine stoped stinking, then started stinking again because I had a plastic bag stuck to my exhaust. Haha.

Better a plastic bag instead of pieces of some dead animal![boink]

a lot of times that smell can be attributed to the exhaust system setting up or whatever it does.... If you do an aftermarket exhaust, you may notice it again for a while...

Yep, I had the same experience. It went away after 500 miles or so. I've been told by my mechanic friends that its normal when breaking in a new car.
