I noticed that On/Off Road package includes Air Suspension. Does it mean that without this package there is no Air Suspension ( which I personally like more )? Does anybody know ?

AIRMATIC air suspension
For a balanced, comfortable ride, the AIRMATIC semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. At the push of a button, the vehicle's ride height can be raised for added ground clearance. The suspension also lowers automatically at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics, stability and fuel-efficiency. AIRMATIC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, to help compensate for additional cargo or passengers.
So I believe they all have air suspension.

So let me get this straight - the pano roof, easy entry power third row and 360 surround camera may not be available for some or all of 2013??? How does MB let this happen??? These are features MB has highlighted in the advance press for the new GL. While they don't make or break the car, I am not sure I would want to spend $80k and up and not get them.
Does anyone know what happened?

I don't know, but I can guess. In order to sell a vehicle in the US there are ample safety tests that have to be performed. I'm going to guess that they haven't completed the panoramic roof tests (rollover, etc) to get permission to sell yet. I wouldn't surprise me that the surround view cameras are the same thing - perhaps they need to make sure that if you are relying on the cameras that you can't hit something.
Like I said I'm guessing. If my guess was true then it might be available in many other countries. If that's the case it makes perfect sense then to market the features.

I'm willing to be it's a supply chain issue. Same issue with the pano roof and xenons on the ML- they just couldn't get enough parts in on a timely manner.

2011 E550 Sport (traded), 2012 SLK 350; 2013 GL450 on order for OCT delivery
Yep, not available. And now, leather seats (and also active ventilated seats since they require leather) are not available for order on GL350 and GL450. Only available in vehicles where leather is standard.
