I think it's great to offer a less than positive opinion about the Volt.

I happen to like it.

However if do make a slam of it, offer some valid reasons why you feel this way.

Also offer an alternative that would work better as a replacement for the Volt.

But I do oppose slamming something just for the sake of it.

Slam something, then offer something better.

Every dark cloud should have a silver lining, even if it's a small one!
