Mom, now called Helen, copes with raising two troubled kids, while Mr. Incredible, now just plain Bob, faces a joyless desk job with thinning hair and a gigantic spare tire.

...adding more safety features. Ford is including a roll-stability-control system as standard equipment on four 2005 models, including the Explorer. The all-new 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee will have optional electronic stability control, which can detect skidding and automatically slow the car, along with a new tire-pressure monitor (rollovers can be caused by a blown tire) and side-curtain air bags.
