Recent Jaguars from 2004 or so look much like Astons, because they were desigined by the same person. Callum is still at Jaguar.
Callum's styling drections have been widely copied, for good reason.
Ian Callum's brother, Moray Callum, designed the 2013 Fusion. Hyundai/Kia have been heavily drawing from Ford of Europe (kinetic) styling for the last few years.
