Er, what? Make it plastic. It's not the weight, it's the fact that it compromises chassis rigidity. Same reason there's no sunroof in 5door STI.
And reports of convertible only surfaced few months ago. Before that there was nothing about it, sometimes mixed with 'no way'. It makes zero sense to design a light weight-coupe with all the extra rigidity in the 'base' and the top doing nothing (so that the hypothetical convertible could be lighter) and not selling it as a convertible from the get-go.
