HDi stands for High pressure Direct injection.

Peugeot carefully avoids the dreaded diesel word, although we all know HDi's are diesels.

Notice how Land Rover, Ford and Jaguar (who all use the same diesel engines) are careful to avoid the diesel word.

Perhaps 'Heavy Depreciation included' would suit better.

Or 'Hardly Driveable, innit?'

'Hinders Driving incessantly'....?

How about "It's another f.....g diesel car that the driver of which will incessantly bang on telling us about midrange torque and real world driveability. Who cares if it takes four years to get to sixty from a standsill if you can leave in in fifth gear at walking pace." OK, I can't quite wrap the acronym around that one but you get the general idea?

Only kidding, I quite rate the HDi engines.

Rgds,

Paul.
