Someone on another forum pointed this out: Where's the xA on the list? Perhaps they didn't test the xA, but it's nearly the same interior materials.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over this "report."

You know these "reports" are always humerous. I remember one time when I live d in phoenix on the front page of the paper it said "mexican food linked to cancer". Everything someway or somehow is linked to something toxic or bad or whatever. Honestly there just comes a point where you are like WTF? Should we all live ina bubble....I mean if we did we would be safe right? Well probably not because soon another report about the manufacturing of bubbles would come out saying it is killing us too......oyyyy

There is a link on the above page to a contrary viewpoint which I think is better supported.

Ehhhh... nothing new here.

Ever wonder what that new car smell is?? Ever notice thet it goes away with a little time??

It's normal for the materials that are used in these cars to off gas for a few months.

Roll down a window!!

You think we can somehow exploit the chemicals to gain HP?

Now I know why my back hurts from this past weekend, the toxins penetrated my spinal cord and they're slowly killing me.

we can run exhaust gases into the cabin and close all the windows while we drive to kill off the new car smell. then we wouldnt have to worry about it.
