The fact that people buy 4's for the sake of about 1" of extra width blows my mind..... I do not get the fascination with the widebody......

I can't even tell the difference unless there are two cars right next to each other and the angle is juuuuuuust right.

I usually guess, but the answer is not always correct

+1

I can only understand the 4's if you live somewhere with lots of rain or snow and actually plan to drive in it. Other than that, they are heavy and do not handle as nice.....

I am not a fan of the 4. More weight, less steering feel, too well behaved. But I think I can spot the extra width every time. Maybe it's just an inch, but there's a subtle difference in the shape. They look absolutely great - but I wouldn't ever buy one. Same reason I'd never own a tt (unless it was wrapped in a GT2 of course).
