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.

Feast from the east

NOT ALL Japanese sports cars are recent grey imports. Some are overlooked and underrated - like the Subaru SVX. These days Subaru is a charismatic name thanks to its world championship rallying success with the Impreza. Back in 1991, though, it was best known for off-roaders that farmers liked. That is why no one took the four-wheel drive, 230 bhp, 150mph supercar seriously. The styling was very much retro futuristic Gerry Anderson, and a price tag of over pounds 30,000 did not help, and Subaru only sold a handful. T Worldwide Vehicle Supplies has a 1993 example in black, with black leather interior, air conditioning and every extra you could need for a mere pounds 12,257.
