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.

If you are thinking of buying a new Audi 100, don't - unless you get a thumping big discount. There's a new model coming in August, and it looks better than its predecessor.

The new car, the A6, is essentially a facelifted 100. The front end is smoother and the bumpers are body coloured. It looks for all the world like a little brother to the new A8, Audi's aluminium-bodied luxury car, touted by some specialist mags as 'the best car in the world'. The A8 comes here in September.

The A6 still makes do with a conventional (fully galvanised) steel body, and the engines are the carried-over collection of fours, fives, V6s and the turbodiesel.

No news on pricing yet, but given the relative unpopularity of the 100 (from pounds 17,970) in Britain (few regard it as a serious rival to the BMW 5 series), the A6 is unlikely to be much more expensive .
