When you purchase a new car upholstered in leather, that smell sticks around even after the new car smell fades away after 4-5 months. Best smelling cars in my opinion are Mercedes Benz' because of their quality leathers.
I know what proper leather smells like, and it smells nothing like the plastics rampantly off-gassing in a new car. As G37 and Mercedes have better leather than BMW, apparently, they should smell like tanneries - but no Merc I’ve ridden in smells anything like a tannery. It smells of car . I don’t know what a G37 is, though, they only sell it in a handful of places.
That's because most Mercs have vinyl - aka leatherette seats.
