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.

Italian car brand Lancia has launched its Ypsilon ELLE in European markets with a new website and competition on its website.

The Ypsilon ELLE, a collaboration between Lancia and women's fashion magazine ELLE, is available from the company's website starting from €10,990 (for a limited period). It was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The collaboration follows that between Citroen and GQ, which resulted in a model billed as the "ultimate gentleman's drive."

However, unlike GQ's effort, women in Lancia's European markets could soon be driving the 1.2 litre Ypsilon ELLE. The model, which will have a limited run, features ABS brakes, four airbags, and a CD/MP3 player.

Available in two-toned black and white or metallic pink, the car is "inspired by the covers of ELLE magazine" and features the words "Je ne saurais vivre sans Elle" ("I could not live without it") on the doors and bumpers. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels in two colors (shiny black and chrome) complete the look. Inside, the designers used ELLE-branded black and white leather, white piping and chrome trims.

Lancia is asking visitors to its website to register and answer the question: "Who or what can't you live without?" for a chance to win an Ypsilon ELLE.
