Finally, MotherProof.com is eager to show off its dazzling new site with three posts today. First, the moms take a look at Brooke Shields’ ads for the VW Routan, followed by a review of the 2008 Honda Accord and a roundup of booster seats that performed poorly in safety tests.

I read the 2008 Honda Accord review and can only wonder how much longer until Cars.com invokes a minimum IQ test for reviewers. Is it possible that Fabio wrote the review under a pen name?

To quote: "The buttons are oversized, which should help with ease of use, but there are so many of them it would take weeks to get the whole system memorized." I have this exact same car (company car) and have been driving it for nine months. It took all of twenty minutes to figure out what the buttons do. To this day I still haven't had the need to open the owners book.

Another quote: "I was able to relax and get comfy in the Accord’s large, couch-like seats because of the car’s standard electronic stability control and plenty of airbags." Huh? I'd like to know what esc and airbags has to do with getting comfortable in a car?

My Accord company car has been 100% fine since the day it was issued so I have no complaints. It's definitely not in the same class as my Cooper but then again it wasn't meant to be, but I can see why Accords are so popular.
