A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection - i.e. a Honda with "Lamborghini" doors arriving at the same petrol station as a Lamborghini that does not have "Lamborghini" doors - Coincidence.

An expression of meaning, often humorous or sarcastic, by the use of language of a different or opposite tendency - i.e. "That Honda looks really nice." - Irony.

The lamborghini not having lamborghini doors while the Civic does is the opposite of what you expect.

Nice try though...

If it were deliberately staged, for the purposes of, say, a film or book, then the author/director would be using situational irony as a device to elicit a response from the audience.

That irony would be achieved by having a coincidental situation - in this case the remarkable concurrence of circumstances without apparent causal connection of having a Honda with "Lamborghini" doors arriving at the same petrol station as a Lamborghini that does not have "Lamborghini" doors.

The situation is, in isolation, coincidental.
