A week or so ago we test drove a 2014 XLT with the standard V6. There was a very strong burning smell on my wife's test drive. It was really noticeable when we were stopped (no air flow). A few days before that I was at a different dealership and test drove a different 2014 XLT (same engine) and it didn't have that smell. The one salesman said it is the catalytic converter and the smell goes away after a couple hundred miles.
Is this the dreaded "exhaust smell in cabin" or actually what the salesman said? It didn't smell like exhaust, more like burning. Is it something that maybe they changed and the one I drove might have had a more recent build date?
