Strong smell of natural gas or exhaust entering the cabin. Seems to be coming in through the air vents. As that's where the smell is the most intense. It also gets worse when the car is stationary. But it is noticeable throughout the whole drive. At this point even after only two days it's almost unbearable to drive and the whole cabin is stained with the smell.
