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.Don't get me wrong - it's not the cars per se. I may not know my vorsprung from my technik, but I'm sure these sleek chunks of engineering get you from Auto to Bahn with formidable teutonic efficiency. No, it's the sense of exclusivity which, as BMW itself recently realised, is hard to maintain when every other car on the road is an "ultimate driving machine" - I even learnt in one at my old driving-school. It's time to wave bye- bye to the beemer because
l who wants a car called 528?
l sales reps would look a lot less smug in their Cavaliers; what accounts department will give them a Mercedes?
l the traffic lights of south London will be a lot quieter without the "ultimate b-boy machine"
l their depreciation is really rather goo - oh my god! Just five minutes writing about them turns you into a car bore.
