D5 platform ?
For Land Rover, the lightweight platform will bring significant benefits in terms of dynamics, fuel-efficiency and emissions. The report also says the source described the styling of the new Range Rover as “car-like on steroids.â€
The L560 is expected to have a similar price to the Land Rover Discovery large SUV.

It won't be called Discovery 5. Just plain old Discovery.

I don't think anything has changed. As far as I know you won't be able to buy one until 2016 and even then there is now some suggestion that it might be late 2016 rather than early.
The baby disco has to come first, then the Evoque soft top after that.....

If that is the case and it is late 2016 LR may well loose a lot of customers as a lot of people are looking to change before then and will look elsewhere. There are a few who have already moved because of the long wait for an up to date new model discovery, a little short sighted on LR part I think. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
MY15 D4 HSE Kaikoura Stone
MY12 D4 HSE Nara Bronze Sold and gone
MY11 D4 HSE Stornaway Grey Sold and gone
D3 S spec Silver Sold and gone
Tow bar, full length roof bars, side steps, tow bar storage unit, surround camers.

TBH they have bigger fish to fry afterall the D4 only accounts for 13% of unit sales ....the main issue however is logistically planning all these new vehicles on the limited line space. More lines \ factories is what is needed  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I was waiting for the D5 (as I thought it was pre the 14MY announcement) to replace my ageing D3. However on doing some research it became clear that it would be late 16/early 17 at the earliest before I could get one which was just too long to wait given the age of my vehicle. Have an HSE coming soon.
PS Found out when I was looking in the showroom that the the RRS loses it's spare wheel if you order the legless +2 seats.

Spot on DG....the building to house the new production line for the forthcoming Jag 4x4 is HUGE and takes up massive chunk of the available space
There is barely enough room/capacity at the moment,and if,as you say, Discovery "only" accounts for 13%,then a replacement will be on the back burner for a while... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I looked at one the other day with the tiny seats in the back - neither use nor ornament IMO - and to lose the spare as well
Gorgeous looking car with I assume great performance, but it's like the tardis the wrong way round

I looked around at other cars before ordering my new Disco but it is still best in class by a long way. Replacing my nine year old car with the same body shell irks me but nothing I can do about that!
Many 4x4s are reverse tardis' like the RRS. The Cayenne being the worst, lambasted for being a huge off roader but actually quite small inside.
