The next generation Disco is simply going to be called Discovery not D5.
It will look very different from the current one!! I think quite a few people will be very sup  rised!

I have yet to see anything that looks anything near online. Bear in mind what I've seen might still change yet.

Don't care what they call it as long as they make it and don't get silly with the price.
Any idea what year it is coming?

OK check this.

Centre column 1, 3, 4 & 5.
A simple Yes or No to each one will suffice.

The big red button was in the new RR test mule round my way when parked up...It could be rumured to be a button to blow away all the plebs in their wanabe 4x4s in the way blocking the road or for BMW drivers?

It looks different to me under the back end and under the front "our drivers side"
Presuming it is a test mule how far down the line is the cold weather test ? Early, mid cycle or late on ?
I spoke to a guy tother day who works at the Aston Martin plant he might talk ballcocks I dont know but he told me the RRS & new Discovery will continue to share the same body / chassis "monocoque"
And the new defender will adopt the T5 platform that the two previous inhabitants will leave behind ?
?
My theory was that IF that's gonna be the case I'll keep my D3 ? Only dead fish go with the Flow !

In a Swedish magazine they posted pictures of what apperas to be a mule for the Disco5:
http://www.automotorsport.se/bilder/album.php?id=1000106873
Translated text:
Land Rover's niche somoffroadkung will pass unchallenged for a while. New Discovery 5 tests namely fully in the barren north.
 More spy photos and film on our own Spy Page (see above link)
However, it will take until 2015 before this Discovery 5 lands in a showroom near you. What we know now is that this little body hides the mechanics of the upcoming model.
It looks like Land Rover chooses to make fifth grade a little wider than the previous model and it will certainly make the look more modern.
As Jaguar Land Rover now consolidates the number of platforms using the fifth grade will no longer own, but must share the aluminum plate with the new Range Rover. Nothing wrong with that because it is considered the world's best car. Also upcoming Range Rover Sport uses the new plate.
If you believe the focus of the new Range Rover as the relief of nearly 400 kg resulted in an orgy of elprylar that helps with everything possible, for example, to fold the rear seat. Discovery 5 will have the opportunity to expand the number of features for passengers without having to worry about being overweight. This means that the car can effectively compete with the Mercedes ML and BMW X5 SUV in the round.
Believe not that Land Rover compromise off-road performance for it. Disco 5 is likely to continue with the Terrain Response system that can take you up most everywhere. Current engines are TDV6-ball but maybe we can hope for a V8 too.
