Jaguar yes, but Ford does have some similar looking cars to Audi. Some have mistaken Volvo's for Audi in some cases.

What other companies? Almost all companies have similar wheels. The Side of the GLk is a cross between the GL and G. Mercedes-Benz has been a industry leader since the beginning of the company. Of course most companies are going in similar designs because it aligning with the evolution of the automobile. Just look at 80's vehicles vs. 90's vehicle. You can almost tell the similarities.
If there is one company that knows and is an expert at copying design it's Lexus. Thankfully they are finally starting to shape up to using their own designs.
