Nickname given in the Dominican Republic to the Honda Civic produced from 1992 to 1995. It generally refers to the four-door version but is also used for the two-door coupe. It is legendary as a Dominican workhorse, or carro de guerra, alongside the Toyota Corolla. (The name is a masculine play on ballena, or whale, referring to the car's rounded body style).

A 2-stroke Honda Dio scooter, typically used by street-savvy men who modify the engine for speed. (In the Dominican Republic, tigueres are street-smart guys, and these scooters are a staple of urban street culture).
A nickname for the Honda Civic Hatchback, so called because its flat rear end looks like a blackboard. These cars became a major cultural trend in Santo Domingo, becoming a highly desired vehicle for customization (specifically referring to the late 80s and early 90s models).
