Off the top of your head what would your first guess be for the type of car the current pope drives? Something luxurious like the BMW X5 that Pope Benedict had? Or maybe he’s taken to cruising around in the Popemobile 24/7? Wrong on both counts, because right now the Pope has been seen zooming around in a Ford Focus. Sounds fitting doesn’t it? The Pope definitely thinks so.

“The Pope advised new priests and nuns to travel in more “humble” vehicles rather than driving fast, late model cars. To prove his point, Pope Francis is driving a low-priced Focus around Vatican City” (VIA Adage.com)

We’ve got to admit we like the Pope’s style (though probably not as much as Ford), and if he’s ever in need of high quality car transportation, then we’ll be there in our Sunday best.
