Designo CL65
Now, here is one sweet "Designo CL65" on eBay. CL65? BS! How in the **** is that a Designo? This rebadge thing is played the **** out!

"(Even though the decals on the back say CL65, it's a CL600, it is still a V12 Bi-Turbo 495HP)"
At least get the HP figure correct.

They didn't even put the V12 BiTurbo badge on right.......
The car has dual exhaust as opposed to quad.......
No AMG seats.......
Regular trim (non-Designo), even the exterior color and wood trim are regular......
It's only designo because it has a designo embroidered trunk mat!?
Too many other flaws to list
This kind of rebadging has gone too far, especially with the proliferation of ebay.

2005 SL55, 2000 CL500
Re AMG Badge Fraud
Since I am in the market for an AMG
CL55 or SL55 and know what I am looking for.
Its amazing how many "fraud" AMG`s are out there.
2 Stories.
The other day. The guy down the street that does car stereo`s
a couple doors down from my business. Pulls up in a CL55. 2001
Right away I can see. It has no AMG Brakes. No Seats, No Pedals.
Sounds nice. Has the 4 Tips. A closer look at the tips. Aftermarket.
The guy insists its a CL55 I get him to open the hood. AMG FRAUD.
Looks like my CL500 in there. Its a customers and this guy has no idea
what I am talking about.
At a nice Sushi bar in Newport Beach. Guy pulls up in a CL55. Nice looking girl in tow. Parks next to my CL500.
We start talking. He says. "I just got mine from Fletcher Jones"
Its a 2005. I mention. No AMG Seats, No AMG Brakes, No AMG Exhaust only 2 Tips. This guy knows he has "been made". Tells me I dont know what I am talking about. AMG FRAUD
I cant imagine faking an AMG.
Its like putting tissue paper in a bra.
These people should be hunted down and pay for this sin.

..............the original owner may have falsely badged the car, but the seller is not trying to be fraudulent. Seller never said it is a CL65. The auction says CL600. The seller also points out the false badging for the buyer to see. Look at this quote ffrpom the seller.
