Toyota offered Pruitt private test drive of new Lexus model, emails show

Emails exchanged last fall between one of Pruitt's former top aides, Millan Hupp, and a representative for Toyota –- the parent company of Lexus -– indicate Pruitt's apparent interest in taking the Lexus LC500 for a test drive after visiting Toyota headquarters in Plano, Texas. "Is there a good day in the next week or so for the Administrator to go for a lunchtime drive?" A spokesman for CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told ABC NEWS in a statement that Pruitt should have "Immediately declined" the the private test drive. "If Pruitt had taken the private test drive, he could have violated ethics rules on accepting gifts from a prohibited source," the statement says. On Wednesday, ABC News reported that two of Pruitt's top lieutenants at the agency were resigning, including Hupp, who communicated with the Toyota representative about the test drive.

The new Toyota Supra will go racing … but not where anyone expected

The revived Toyota Supra is one of the most hyped car launches of the decade, but no one could have predicted this.
