7. A Convertible Isn't Likely
Tada-san didn't say it specifically, but it's clearly how he feels. He admits that a convertible version is possible, though. But because the car was designed as a hardtop from the beginning and it relies on its roof for both structure and handling ability, the idea of a convertible FR-S is a bad one.
"It would require plenty of additional engineering, more bracing and more weight," says Tada-san. Scion isn't asking for it, but here's our advice: Don't bother.

To bring light into the dark: The headline is bullshit. Tetsuya Tada only said the 86 is constructed to be compatible as a roadster. That's no new info and that's no confirmation a roadster is planed. This magazine often bends the truth to get some attention.
