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.These are the first official pictures of the forthcoming second-generation mid-sized S60 Volvo saloon. The first S60 made something of an impact when it was first introduced in 2000 but has had a very low profile in recent years, at least since the arrival of the slightly smaller but fresher S40 saloon and V50 estate in 2004.
Like all Volvos since the first S80 introduced in 1998, the new car relies heavily on the strong shoulder line borrowed from the old 140/240 series – first introduced back in the Sixties - in order to help it stand out from the crowd, but this S60 is a curvier, wedgier affair than its predecessor.
The S60 is particularly important for Volvo's future – Ford has put the Swedish car-maker up for sale and this car will help set the course for the company during the first few years under its eventual new owner.
