    I was informed today that Lambo Calabasas was empty and the large banner they had up was also taken down. Drove by and they are in fact completely Empty. All cars are completely out of the dealership. Anyone have more info?

    This morning there were a few flat-beds around in front; guess they had some stragglers to pick up.

    Did someone also mention Lambo of OC is gone too?

    Wierd, I just called both the Calabasas and OC dealerships yesterday. What about the location on PCH in Newport Beach, next to Ferrari of Newport Beach, closed as well, I'm thinking.

    That sucks. They didn't even make it a full year.

    I knew something was up about a month ago, when I was unable to get parts from them because they hadn't received the COD check from HQ to pay for those parts. A dealer having to pay COD for parts? That was a big red flag....

    Sucks man, because there were some great people working there. I feel bad for them.

    Maybe it had something to do with the $600,000 party they threw for their grand opening? I'm not complaining, it was a great party.

    Owned by Vik Keuylian. The Lotus dealership he owned in Beverly Hills closed last month and all cars were shipped to Calabasas. I guess that was the first Domino to fall.

    And I guess their "Lambo Boutique" will be gone soon too:

    Unbelievably, there are now no Lamborghini or Lotus dealerships anywhere in Los Angeles.
