I have to say I give a bit of credit to Lamborghini, but I always expected more from a keychain that belongs to an exoticar!
and now that I see the rest of the brands collection, I can see they haven't tried too hard. So definitely a rip off.

 I don't understand how you see "dick" in that shape, it's just a triangular shape imitating the logo.

Keys. The Mazda key for my dad's car looks quite similar to those ones, so I guess all cars have similar-looking keys. When you buy a car, you look primarily at the car, not the key. So, because the key cover design is rather superfluous, Lambo's key is not a rip off.

I agree.
It's the small things that cost a fortune to develop (although a key doesn't seem too much hassle to me). Like the fact that the light clusters on the rear of the Invicta are taken from a Passat
That's why you see the same switchgear across products in the VW group, Ford group and GM group etc...
Similar to platform and engine sharing, actually.

It's all about profit margins.

At least Lambo has a different key compared to Volkswagen, Bentley and Aston Martin.

first of all.... the VW key is awful, but you say "ok, it's a VW". But then you see the cheap-ass keys from the luxury cars and you simply can't believe it...
