There is now a new ad-hoc web site up for the Discovery "family", I imagine announcements and previews will be officially posted there: http://newageofdiscovery.landrover.com/int

Apparently, Land Rover has nothing to announce in Geneva (that motor show is in full swing as we speak) other than this pulled teaser video, but may reveal a bit more at an auto show in the near future, perhaps New York at the end of April. Would make sense if they used NY to launch a new baby Discovery, since the Range Rover Evoque was introduced there as well.

Ah, now I see where the design chat came from - interesting. Yeah, it's tough to tell what this all means, since the Discovery will likely include at least a couple different vehicles.

Or, maybe we are worrying for nothing. That could be the silhouette of the new Freelander (aka LR2 in North America), since Land Rover apparently intends to market the LR2's upcoming replacement as a "baby" Discovery, kind of like the Evoque is being marketed as a baby Range Rover. As it is widely believed the new Freelander / Baby Disco will be based on the Evoque platform, that sketch could be of that model and not necessarily of the LR4's next iteration. The LR2 replacement should be launched this year, before the LR4's - allegedly.

It does look a lot like the pictures (renderings) that you can see on UK's autoexpress or German car news sites.

So they took some crazy artistic freedom with that little swoopy teaser thing (which they kinda stole from Infiniti)...

Land Rover seem to enjoy this kind of offbeat style. Introducing new models whenever they feel like it ;)
