Question Alternate car?

I would like to have another fun car as a backup in the event my dealership screws me on the BRZ I ordered. RWD/AWD preferred.

Any suggestions of cars that are not American, German, and not made by Subaru, Hyundai, Honda, Mazda?

Based on those limiting factors, I'm going to suggest a Lamborghini.

Yeah, I would have normally suggested a Miata, Mustang GT, Genesis Coupe, or a lightly used 3-series BMW or S2000 but you've already screened those out...

...only thing that pops to mind is a 370Z. Or if you want to go further up market, how about a Lotus Elise?

I love the Elise. Unfortunately, if you get into an accident with that car, it's cheaper to buy a new one rather than repair.

Well, I don't plan on having any accidents, so personally I wouldn't let that influence my choice.

My only issue is getting in and out of the thing, especially with the top on. I guess it becomes easier with practice.
