Have just seen photos in Auto Express of new Baby Discovery and am struck by the similarity to existing Yeti model, even down to the round fog lights which break up the squareness of it and give it an interesting look. Anyone else out there seen it and what are your thoughts. I know that it will be more expensive and less reliable and dearer to run than the Yeti but it is interesting to see JLR taking styling tips from Skoda.

You don't mean the Land Rover DC100 that is being touted as the replacement for the Defender do you?
That seems to have taken a lot of styling cues from the Yeti http://www.eurocarblog.com/galleria/land-rover-dc100-and-dc100-in-red#&ui-state=dialog

The Baby Discovery is the replacement for the Freelander, due for launch in 2015.

As Snowgood says, it is a "Baby Discovery" replacement for the freeloader.
As with Range Rover they are making Discovery into a brand.
Round fogs are not as characterful as the Classic Yeti but look more like recessed ceiling lights! Maybe I am being a little harsh/biased?
