TommyJames Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Tonino Lamborghini business hotel Pics from his hotel in Parma. It does not look bad at all. While I know the bull and shield are from the family crest, I can't help but feel like they are riding the coat tails of Lamborghini S.p.A. That is their true image and thus it hurts Tonino's own credibility. I also know they have extended the brand into bicycles and other nonsense products that do impact the Lamborghini Automobile name. I'd think it was great if they made a stronger attempt to separate the brands but I don't see any attempt. The watches look cheap and are not at all on the same level as other co-branding watch/automotive partners. I think everyone would be better off under one branding image. EVERYONE I know who sees Tonino Lamborghini assumes it's the same as the car company and I think Tonino does that with intention. I can't speak to the quality of everything they do, but bicycles??? Golf bags??? I know there were other products on this forum that made us all groan. Some of what they are selling may in fact be great quality, but because of how the relationship appears, I see it more as a negative than positive. Again, I mean no disrespect to what you're doing and I wish you were selling factory accessories instead as they are often hard to find in the US.

I can get you almost ANY factory accessory, and I have quite a few special items myself. Just let me know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know. the trick for us in the US is finding out what's in the accessory catalog in the first place. I know they have a lot of stuff, but we never ever know about it.

I agree with you, the watches seems to be really poor quality which is a shame as some of his other products seems to be really good.

TommyJames Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Notice the Tonino Lamborghini logo on the upper right of someone in a Gallardo. My point- riding off the coattails of Lamborghini S.p.A. The bicycles were available at Costco. There may be some great quality stuff with TL, but because he also slaps the brand on crap, it makes everything suspect.

Just trying to make Lambo Power and especially this thread, the ultimate source for ALL Lamborghini related stuff. I don't take the comments in a bad way I think we're all in support of you, but many of us will not support anything to do with Tonino Lamborghini because of what he's doing to the brand. If he were trying to separate himself from the car company rather than get a free ride, and he had good products, I'd probably buy something because he's the son of the founder. For him it's not about great design, it's about getting his name on anything that will have it while sustaining as much brand confusion as he can get away with. I think if you could source things from the factory accessory catalog that we can't get in the US very easily, you'd make far better progress, such as some of the H2J partnership jackets, it would be cool.

I disagree to a certain extend with you, but I can follow what you mean. I will support him because HE IS a Lamborghini and because I DO like SOME of TONINO LAMBORGHI'S products. I like some of the designs. And don't worry LAMBORGHINI S.p.A will get their fair share of space in my thread, for sure. Stay tuned.
