Manual, RWD, 4 seat convertible to replace a Twin?

Touring over the sedan too for that matter.

Sure, but I already have a utility car (Odyssey minivan). And I have a fun roofed daily (the BRZ). The goal of the convertible is to add something different. A sporty wagon would be worse than the BRZ for fun and worse than the minivan for hauling people and things. As much as I like sporty wagons (and owned a 2.0 EcoBoost Ford Mondeo Estate many moons ago) I'm not looking for one.
As an aside, I think about a BRZ replacement on-and-off all the time. The conclusion is a 2nd gen Twin, but even that is only if/when the current BRZ suffers a major problem, or if it becomes impossible to take the kids in it (as they grow).
