It made it to the ft86club home page main feature article months ago. At this point, it's not a question of "if" but of "when."
It's not the convertible part, it's the other...guesses...

"If Subaru puts the new supercharged version of the 2.0-liter FA-series four-cylinder engine that is now used in the updated Japanese-market Legacy sedan and Outback wagon, this could get even more interesting."

"If retooling isn’t cost prohibitive, we could see a 300 horsepower BRZ coupe and convertible in the near future."

"Subaru could also bring out the new 2014 BRZ convertible as a two-seat roadster."

The whole thing reads more like a forum post than a news "article"...
