We've joined the club...

Our 2005 CL65 arrived via FedEx covered transport today. Cubanite silver metallic/black, keyless go, distronic, parktronic. What an amazing vehicle. I had never driven one prior to the purchase but after reading reports here and researching the car we took the plunge.

I was asked if I've found any problem with the CL65. My immediate answer, "speed limits". Thanks to all that contribute to this forum,

Dave

I've tried to post a few photos but they won't upload.

Elegant looking car . . . definitely an iron fist in a velvet glove . . . good luck finding a speed limit that a CL65 will like

They look much better painted the same colour as the car, and a simple inexpensive job.
