Old & New

Saw these two parked up on Dublin Street Lane. I know the car in the background is a Lotus Exige (I'm sure it's the Exige Sport rather than an Elise), however no idea what the car in the foreground is. I'm sure someone will enlighten me :)
The foreground car is actually jammed into quite a wee alcove type thing - you'd need nerves of steel trying to reverse park that in the morning, especially considering the lack of parking sensors!
