One can argue that for the same class and catagory of cars, in this case full size flagship luxury cars, they all have very similar design. But the above 4 looks almost identical!
The Audi, BMW and Jaguar all look way different:
2011 Audi A8:
2009 BMW 750i:
2011 Jaguar XJ:

My thread on how they ripped the GSh. What makes it worse for a GS owner is not only is the wheel ripped off but the entire car design is.

I really am not fond of what they did, I can't go 10 feet now without confusing the 3GS with a G37

I was driving recently and saw a G37 from the rear and when I came to the side I was shocked to notice it had very similar tri-spoke wheels to my 450h
The entire profile already looks like a 3GS so I was utterly stunned and disgusted quite frankly.
No joke recently I saw a black Jag XF which we all know took 3GS styling cues and it had a set of tri-spoke wheels as well!
I mean its one thing to take a similar profile from the GS but damn the wheels too? Is nothing sacred.

2009/2010 Jaguar XF optional wheels
I much prefer the XF styling to the G37 and I think the XF does look good but damn, the wheels too! Funny but Ian Callum the designer of the XF has been asked in mag interviews about how the XF looks like the Lexus GS.
Top Gear even had a small article on a long term XF they had where they brought a 450h to compare the two.
I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but damn, I guess I need wheels?
