Diebrid

A combination of "diesel" and "hybrid"; referring to an upcoming trend amongst fuel-economy obsessed auto manufacturers of creating hybrid diesel / electric drivetrains.

Both technologies are not known for their exciting driving characteristics, so essentially a diesel / electric hybrid is where traditional (petrol-driven) performance motoring goes to die.

Man, if they continue developing diebrids they'll take all the joy out of motoring... it's enough to make any petrolhead sick to the stomach.
