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 estate version of Skoda's impressive Superb is now on sale in the UK. Prices start at £17,715, which represents only a small premium over the existing hatchback/saloon model, as well as being highly competitive with mainstream rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia, and with the estate models of the German prestige brands.
A wide range of engines is offered, from a 1.4 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol unit to a 3.6 litre VR6 that is only available in conjunction four-wheel drive. Three different diesels are available; the Volkswagen Group's long established 1.9 litre in 105 horsepower form, and two more modern two-litre units using common-rail technology, one providing 140 horsepower and the other 170.
Meanwhile, Skoda has also announced a modest facelift for its smaller Fabia and Roomster models designed to bring them further into line with the company's emerging corporate "face", and is hinting at further developments to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week.
