Default C7 Welcome Message?

Does the C7 have the ability to compose your own welcome message on the dash like the C6? That was always kind of fun!

Nope. When you get in, it does some nice looking animations on the screens. After that, you're straight to your guages.

To bad, my C6 dash cluster always informed me that I was singularly the greatest human being on earth and how it was a privilege to have me guiding her well lubricated chassis through the great highways of life...

That's too bad that it no longer does this. I've got the welcome message on my C6 set to say LIFE IS GOOD

My C6 says "REPORTED STOLEN" so if anybody steals it, that will be the first thing they see, even if they pulled the OnStar fuse, and hopefully they'll quietly park it and steal somebody else's car. I do get questions about it every time I take it in for service though. Too bad the C7 takes away this important anti-theft system.

We'll leave that stuff for the Cadillac. I analagize our cars to more like Ferrari and Lamborghini-they have the gauges that go all the way up and then all the way back.

My Mom's CTS says her name-I don't need that from my C7.

I see it as one less thing to have to figure out how to do.
