Jorge Mario Bergoglio has been Pope Francis for less than one day, and already his every choice as head of 1.3 billion Catholics is being scrutinized. And not surprisingly in car-crazy Italy, the local press has focused on one thing: What does the new pontiff ride? 

Answer: the same car the previous pope did, a Volkswagen Phaeton sedan. But he's made sure to bring an understated style, in keeping with the frugal life he has led, even to his transportation habits. (He famously took public transit as archbishop of Buenos Aires, and on Wednesday night after the conclave that elected him, he returned to his residence on the shuttle bus used by the other cardinals.)
