I am interesting in buying a '01 CLS i just test drove one over the weekend and love everything about it... I can only afford $18500 for the car itself and i dont need the navigation... My question is what year did they start makin the CL'S that nice Blue color??

 

i think in 03

 

anyone know for sure what year?

 

03 and it was only available on the Type-S, Its called aegean blue if thats what your talking about

 

I believe its the 03, the CL-P has a darker blue. Here's my 03 to give you an idea.
PICS

 

if you are talking about Aegean Blue(lighter more vibrant blue), That color was started on the second batch of CL-Ss for the 2002 model year. I don't believe that color was available for the 2001 CL-S.

If it is the Dark Midnight Blue, that color was restricted to CL-Ps only, not the CL-S.

 

Thay make both the darker and lighter blue in 2001...my x had the darker cl-p 2001 totaled it and got a 2001 algen blue cl-s 2001

 

well some of u say 03 and some say 01.... anyone know 100%? or where i can find out

Just a quick note on the '01 blue color thing from a newbie. I just recently purchased an '01 CL - S in Monterey Blue Pearl/ black interior. The color code on my driver door post is B93P. I haven't taken any pics of the car yet, but, from what I can see, the pic of the dark blue RL above looks identical to my color (my car has its original paint). From a very unscientific survey of all the used '01 Cl -S ads I could find with pics, it appears the Monterey Blue was the rarest color, at least here in Canada.
I'm not certain of availability in the U.S., but here, on the '01 Type S, only colors available were the Silver, Black, Red, Gold and Blue in decreasing order of noticeability in for sale ads.
