Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The three finalists for the World Car of the Year awards have been announced at the Geneva Motor Show.

From a short list of ten vehicles, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Toyota Prius and the Volkswagen Polo have been selected as finalists for the prestigious award, due to be presented on April 1 at the New York International Auto Show.

The finalists were selected and voted on by the 59-strong international jury panel comprised of automotive journalists from 25 countries.

The panel also released the finalists for the 2010 World Performance Car award as the Audi R8 V10, the Ferrari California and the Porsche 911 GT3.
