Jesse, that brown nightmare has got to be a spilled can of Pepsi, or a big
ol' latte, or something else that just seeped into your foam.  Relentless,
repetitive cleaning unless you can pull off the upholstery and get straight to it.

Since I have many pets, I own a Hoover Steam Vac and it does a good job of
pulling up the crud.  You can flush as much liquid through it as you need to
really clean up.  If you have a wet/dry shop vac, you can achieve similar results
using a spray bottle or watering can to apply the cleaner, then vac it dry.
I am very lucky that my van interior is the same color as my dogs.  :-)

I've got a small, similar recurring brown spot on my tan interior, in the
back on the bed cushion.  Maybe the PO fell asleep with drink in hand...
