Why Aston Martins use Volvo keys?

Referring to an article with supporting pictures at CarMagazine UK, I am surprised that I found Aston Martins uses Volvo keys! - How come?!?!

We should hardly be surprised, since we all know that Astons dip into the expansive Ford parts bin for everything from sat-navs to switchgear. But you do expect them to at least go to some lengths to remove the original badging.

Turns out not, as one Aston V8 Vantage owner - 'Rio Prestige Car Hire' discovered when his expensive leather-wrapped key fob got scuffed by the customer. There, under the damaged hide, it was clearly written 'Volvo' lying underneath! What an embarrassment...
