Just another entry in the long list of car companies that rip others off. It's too bad it's so shameless, so transparent. You just have to know that the 7 is a vastly superior automobile to the LS, no matter what the visual similarities. Just like the IS isn't the 3-series, or the Chrysler 300 isn't a Bentley, or the 350z isn't a 911 - the LS is not a 7!
