Civic vs Lambo
The Civic is a very popular compact car, especially in Europe and the United States. It is developed by the Japanese car manufacturer, Honda, and among Japanese cars sold in America, it holds the second longest running nameplates after the Toyota Corolla. Introduced in America in 1972 as a two door coupe, the civic has been largely successful due to its competitive price, low running costs and superb reliability.
The Civic is sold as a coupe or sedan, and both come in five trims, namely DX, LX, EX, EX-L and Si. The sedan features four more trim levels – a DX value package, Hybrid, LX-S, as well as the GX trim.
The ‘Lambo’ is a luxurious car, developed and manufactured by the Italian car maker Automobili Lamborghini. The ‘Lambo’, as it is popularly known, achieved recognition throughout the years because of its sleekness in designs and high performance. Lamborghini has a list of car models manufactured since the company’s inception, including the 350GT in 1964 and the 400GT that followed in 1966. There were numerous models after that, but the most famous ones in recent years include the Diablo, Murcielago, Gallardo and the Reventon released in 2008. On top of that, there are also numerous concept cars that are selectively presented, but never put into mass production.
The huge contrast between the two cars cannot be over emphasized, the most obvious being the country of manufacture. Aside from that, the key difference between the Civic and the Lambo is that while the Civic is produced in sedan and coupe styles, the Lambo is only sold as a 2-seater sports coupe. The Civic is basically a well-rounded car for everyday use, just enough for town and highway driving, with very average performance levels. On the other hand, the Lambo is a luxurious, high performance car associated with wealthy car enthusiasts. Because it is an exotic car, it appeals the most in foreign countries, especially the United States and Western Europe.
As they are produced to be high performance sports cars, Lambo engines are not fuel efficient, compared to the smaller engines of the Civic cars. A typical Lambo engine would be a 6.5 liter V12 that garners a top speed of approximately 220 mph, while a Civic would typically have a 1.8 liter, 113 hp engine, which is far more fuel efficient compared to the V12.
