It's normal... mine smelled like that during the first 1000 miles... after that I drove the car balls out like it's meant to be and the smell hasn't come back.

Heh. That's exactly what I said.

"Serpico..."

My wife just watched that film a few weeks ago; she was very depressed following that.

lol have you never had a new car before? It's normal for new cars to smell, eventually it goes away

Mine never had any strange odor unless you count in the 'new car smell'. I'd take it to the dealership.

Question,
Mine only started to have a strange odor when the car first turns on with the a/c. It only started happening right before i hit 1k miles and the smell only lasts the first 5 seconds. Will that burn out eventually
