No.

You'd need to take EK for that.

CX doesn't offer limo service at all even for F class passengers.

CX may offer Limo services from certain countries if you have a contract with them for a sufficient amount of $$. But I believe it is limited to countries they don't fly to.
Example Belgium, I used to have a limo transfer from CDG to my home in Brussels as part of the J tickets I was buying to them.
Kind of replace the train between CDG and Brussels.

In Hong Kong, the MTR offer a free shuttle bus from most major hotels to the Airport Express, where you can check in before taking the train to the airport (about 25 minutes' journey, every 10-15 minutes). You can check in your bags, get your boarding pass etc.

Not as good as a limo, I grant you, but still decent enough!

CX offers limo to senior government prosecuters who beat up ground staff http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...und-staff.html , not sure if beating up a ground staff alone qualifies.

I find this very hard to believe as the cost of the limo against a J ticket would wipe out the profit so what would be the point of arranging this.

CX used to offer limo transfer for people on F tickets to/from LHR. I don't know if they still do that.

But edit to add that I've just found out that EK will stop their limousine service in HKG for DXB bound passengers from 1st March onwards.

Chauffeur-drive service will be offered to passengers for flights until 28th February 2014.

There is nothing to believe, it is a simple fact. Corporate contract with CX from Belgium would provide limo transfer from CDG to anywhere in belgium for J. I used that double digit number of time and it was in my contracts.
I dont know if they still do it as I now live in Vietnam but I guess they do.
There is a cost to a limo transfer to CDG (AMS was also available) but it is cheaper than losing customers to Etihad and the few others who are flying to and from Brussels. That's the logic behind the system here.

I will speak with the Station Manager next time we are at Amsterdam to find out.
