My 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero has the crayon smell in it, too. IIRC, it was the glue used to assemble the interior. They changed the process in 2003ish, so more recent Saabs don't have the crayon odor.

My wife has a 2002 9-3 SE has no crayon smell, but she used to have a 1999 Viggen with the crayon smell.

I love it.

awww bro, a viggen? Awesome awesome car, definitely wanted to get one at some point.
They're still out there. There are some very cherry examples on saab.net

My girl's Viggen was the lightning blue coupe. She sold it when she got into grad school. We often talk about getting another...
