Oh, no, there's no problems with your car, it must just be from Canada.
 Sweet maple syrup, smokey Canadian bacon. Mmmmmm

I smelled waffles when I came home today. Would you mind parking it in my kitchen?
But seriously, I hope it's an easy and inexpensive fix for you!

If you notice coolant loss, it is the heater core, I blew one in my last Dub ... about a year before the recall ... 1985 car, and in another car, I know the smell. If that isn't it, it could be time to change your cabin filter.

I don't know if you ever identified the problem, but if you park the car outside, you may have mice. We had a terrible problem...they had gotten behind the dash and nested (and pooped) and it had that maple syrup tangy smell. Kind of makes you rethink the whole waffle/pancake experience...
The repair shop still uses our story to warn people about mice...they got tons of stuff out before they were finished (and charged us a bunch, too).
