Is the 2010 GL450 come with the adaptive damping? I looked at the modes at dealer today and did not notice any "comfort/sport" setting in the front panel as showed in the MBUSA website for the air suspension description.

My 2010 GL350 has that "Comfort/Sport" button in the panel. However, I believe that doesn't come standard for GL350 and GL450, only standard for GL550.

In the Optional Equipment And Value Added Packages section of my window sticker, it says: "214 ADS Adaptive Damping System (Special Order) - $760.00". They also charged another $250 for special order item(s).

According to the Operator's Manual, Air Suspension System consists of two components, ADS and Vehicle Level Control. The later comes standard.

You guys in the US are so very lucky. They won't spec it for Canada-bound GL350's.

Note the $250 'special order' fee. It may be possible, if you know precisely what you want, to get it as part of your order - even in Canada. Special order items are NOT likely to be found on the lists of features available to most salesmen. I would NOT expect any special order features to appear on any showroom floor car. Dealers just aren't going to pay the extra fee required.
