Just picked up my Verdant Green Emira from Dallas Lotus!

[Emira6speed]

Just picked up my new verdant green from Lotus of Dallas and couldn’t be happier! Worked with Frank Cortese (again) and he took good care of me as always. Went with Verdant Green over Black with yellow stitching.
Just drove it home from the dealer so I’ll have more to report when I stretch its legs out.

Beautiful spec! Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Congrats! I know of two of us in the McKinney area - I'm curious how many of the 40 or so cars are staying within DFW...

Sweet digs! Looks amazing!

Big congrats! I've clocked up nearly 7000 miles in my DV Emira - absolutely loving it, your is another beauty!

After looking at a lot of specs, this is the best.. those rims make it, and yellow calipers, yellow stitch. perfect!

Did you get charged a $1709 dealer prep fee? I paid $2500 deposit for the AMG Emira, and I almost walked away and would have had to go to court to get my deposit back until the sales manager agreed to remove about $3000 off their first asking price.

Can you share how long it took to receive your Emira? From time of order to delivery. Thanks.

Paid deposit for I4 AMG Emira, April 2022. Factory produced it July 2024. Arrived at dealership in TX, January 2025. Almost 3 years wait.

Wow! So I’m assuming this had to do with the California emissions release? But then I still think you would have received it sometime last year. Well you have it now. I don’t know if I could hold out that long. Good job for being so patient. Have fun! Thanks.

Another Dark Verdant Green! I originally was looking for a Nimbus gray when a very lightly used Verdant Green came up local. Was not even aware that was the car I was looking for but could not pass it. glad I didn't.
Now if would just warm up a bit here in the Midwest maybe I could actually drive it.
Welcome to the club

Purchased my Dark Verdant V6 manual, mid 23 build and only 3500km’s.
picking it up on the 7/2/25 from Sydney then driving it 1400km back to Adelaide.
Also wanted Nimbus Grey but have fallen in love with the Verdant. Can’t wait

I believe the Nimbus Gray photographs a bit better and shows off the lines of the Emira. Something about the Dark Verdant Green that is so sophisticated when seen in person. I would really need to see them both IRL side by side to get a real feal.
No time to second guess. i will be sticking with my Verdant Green

A couple of things I didn't like with dark colours like Verdant, was stone chips and showing dust/dirt more than light colours.
Fortunately, the car is fully ppf'd so stone chips shouldn't be an issue. As for dirt, guess I'll be cleaning it more often.

Agreed. Would have to wash the car a lot anyway due to brake dust. if I'm cleaning the wheels, might as well wash the car.
going full PPF with ceramic coating for extra protection and easy washing.
I have a Tesla Plaid and only had the full front PPF. Of course, someone threw rocks at the car, and I have scratches on the doors. Not going to make that mistake again. Full coverage from now on.
