While I was looking at my VIN #, I noticed the production date for the car...It said 07/02...I didn't pick up my car until 1/22/03, and it only had 15 miles on it...It's hard to imagine this car was just sitting in a warehouse somewhere for 6 months just collecting dust.

truth be told. a nice warehouse would have been nice compared to what the reality of where your car was sitting. it was sitting at some huge yard at a port in canada. hundreds upon hundreds sat in a cold,snowy,rainy, rather inclimate lot collecting god knows what on their paint till some asswipe got his s*** together and made enough of the RIGHT peices to go onto our cars. hope that clears things up for you a little more.
I remember seeing ads for the MSP in SuperStreet Magazine, and thought how cool it would be to have one, but never followed the car's progress. What exactly was wrong with it?? The Mazda dealerships I visited in northern Cali had just gotten theirs in mid to late January...
Fact:
There is no "new car smell" unless someone in the factory doesn't bathe.
Everything is so clean it has no smell. New car smell comes in an aerosol container, and the dealership puts it in for you.
My suggestion for production numbers is to compile a list of VIN numbers, as they would be assigned sequentially on the line, we can then determine who's was made before the next person, but I doubt we will ever know who is #1.

I'm glad MY new car smell was weak: I personally think that smell reeks.
"New car smell" is slightly different from car to car, but is generally the smell of the glue used in the production of the vehicle. Lexus made a big stink (sorry) about using smell-free glue on their cars so they would never lose the "new car smell" (because they never really had it.)

You might want to check your facts. There is certainly no universal aerosol spray that every car dealer on the planet uses. And there definitely is a "new car smell". It comes from, as JasonH said, the glue/uphostery/vinyl/leather in the car. These things all smell when they're new...hence "new car smell".
