if you add adaptive cruise control (I did), the sensor is directly in the middle of the bottom.

No other audi models are like this, and I didn't really notice until I used the configurator on audiusa.com

I thought that was the hole where you put the hand crank in to start the darn thing.

The A3/S3s are the newest cars (freshly designed) that are coming out of the Audi Factory right now. I wouldn't really worry about it not having things that resemble the older cars. Maybe when Audi redesigns the older cars they will follow suit. IDK, either way the more uniqueness the better imo.

On the other vehicles, it's off to the side where the fog lights would be placed. Looks inconspicuous. On the s3, the silver grill slats curve inward at the black hole of a sensor.
