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.

The dream cars for Britain's drivers are German marques, such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes, a motorists' survey has shown. About 300 car-owners, representing a range of occupations, regions and ages, were questioned for the poll, revealing a surprising variety of car preferences.

The survey, published this month by Critical Research Ltd, claims thatmost men choose Mercedes as their favourite car, whilst women preferred Audi or BMWs.

The choice of colour, however, which is said to reflect the personality of the driver, was unaffected by gender. One in five drivers picked blue as their colour of choice, with red and green also scoring highly. Under- 35s bucked the trend, with a clear preference for black. Louise Hancock
