maybe they were changed because of premature warping issues being reported by many 2013 model owners?
Here is a link to an article comparing different types of rotors

Maybe Fab can give us some insight.
The article is misleading, most sport cars, super cars, hyper cars have drilled brakes. i.e C, E, S, Class, 99% of Porsche's etc etc.

GL450
I was actually on the lot with my salesman and we walked the sales lot together and all of their 2014 GLs that were not the GL550 and GL63 came with non-drilled brakes. Our 2013 GL450 had the drilled brakes.
