I hope that pic is of the actual car. If so, it is nice to see that the (now-)pope is a manly-man who can drive a stick.

Most Germans drive stick shifts. I was disgusted when I moved back to the U.S. and tried to find a minivan for my family with a stick. They have them over there, but they just don't exist over here.

Almost everyone in Europe drives stick-shift. Automatics are rare. I still occasionally find myself "searching" for the clutch with my left foot when I drive in the US.
