And that little black "hole" on the door handle is probably the sensor for the keyless. Not a keyhole
Hey Vincent, I say you go there. Definately a good experience, since it's not as crowded as the LA Auto Show, and you get lots of seat time. Besides, you can play with the navi, and do the self check gauges, over and over again. Other than that, plenty of Lambos there.

I think the sensors are on the trunk and somewhere on the glass.
When the theft deterrent ECU detects that the Smart Key is within the detection area, it identifies and checks the Smart Key ID code. It then sends signals that illuminate the interior lighting system and triggers the functions of the vehicle's other ECUs, which allow the vehicle to be unlocked, locked or started.
Eight transmitters (four door transmitters, two trunk transmitters, and two cabin transmitters) form the detection area. The Smart Key also activates the memory recall, automatically positioning the driver seat, mirrors, steering wheel and seat belt anchor. The SmartAccess functions are only available for the master key.

I went to the show last night. The interior is really great but it's a kinda tight at the back. The 3 series interior looks really plain compare to this. I don't like Audi interior too. Kinda surprising considering the hype about Audi interior. Lexus has the best interior with Acura close second.
I love the 18'' wheels and the wheel gaps are minimal. Woohoo. The tail is kinda big and tall for my taste. Oh well, i'll get over it.
