...okay, before you get in the exhaust sniffing jokes, i'll tell you that i notice this smell after backing the car in the garage and shutting the engine off.

Has anybody else noticed the exhaust smells different than other cars? (or at least other cars i've owned). Instead of smelling like exhaust, it smells more like varnish or wet paint.

Yup, thats pretty much it. Sometimes I'll walk back in the garage after I recently backed in the rover and my initial reaction (before remembering its the car) is to look to see if I dumped over a can of paint or something. FWIW


Anyway, if anyone else notices it, just curious what is unique about the LR3 to give off a different smell?

yup. just be curious to see if anyone notices it. its not the high octane fuel because the smell was there during my 3 week trial of mid-grade several months ago. not a new car smell. just different. (but you don't actually have to sniff the tail pipe...the garage either smells that way or doesn't.)
