Peugeot RCz or VW Scirocco TSi

As the number of my family members who stay with me has reduced from 6 to 3 [a wife, an 11-yr old daughter and myself] and is expected to stay that way for another 10 yrs or so - Im now looking for a smaller car to celebrate a life after early retirement next year... preferably a conti-coupe. Sorry for not being a fan of Jap/Korean cars. Im x willing to pay for more than RM200k though.

So, the only car to consider at the moment is either Peugeot RCz 1.6 THP156 or Scirocco 1.4 TSi.
Both cars are believed to have the same performance [and pricing?], but the former has more wow factor amongst Peugeot enthusiasts like myself. Im in dilemma actually.

The following are some figures to compare...

Not sure whether Nasim/Naza will bring in any entry level RCz ...
A few months ago somebody @ Nasim Marketing office hinted that only limited number of high end RCz [200hp?] will be brought in . Probably Nassim had learned a lesson from 308GT.

As far as the Scirocco is concerned, the only slack is the rear end ...
... which look very much outdated like an old Satria... yucks! The new Satria Neo backside is much more attractive even though from the side the low-cost hatch looks like a shoe.

On the other hand, probably the RCz butt is one of [if not] the best looking in the world!
