I have to install computers this Tuesday (June 27th) at the Newport Beach Lexus. This place is AWESOME. It is off the 73 frwy at MacArther and Jamboree. I have been told it is the most expensive dealership ever built! (estimated 70 million)

The grand opening is to be June 29th. I was also told it has the largest car wash in the country (80 cars an hour) If at any time you go to the dealership they will wash your car complimentary. Even if you are there just to look around.

I have seen it during the construction and, and I can confirm this place so far is incredible. They plan to outsell all Lexus dealerships by the end of the year!

I will post more info as I find it.

My old job was across from them; watched the demolition of the old buildings and the ground breaking and the annoying pile drivers that is where you see the car storage garage.

I pass by there couple times just recently (very close to my work) and i was impressed about the facility already even though it is still under construction. I hope (and think) they will out sale the Flecture (spelling) Jones MB just right across street in a very short period of time. Anyone knows which company owns this dealership?

yup i pulled that up...the city is giving back some of the sales tax generated from that dealership as part of their bargaining.

It's the guy from the Beach Boys that owns Toyota of Orange and some other dealership. Very high end real estate he bought into.

Their website is online and has renderings of the dealership---very BIG inside! They need to get the LS 460 in there, stat!

I just started a new job working for CB Richard Ellis, and it's right across the street from the Newport Beach Lexus dealership. It's nice seeing it go up, and it does indeed look like they're almost done with construction.

I'll snap a few pics if I can this week.
