last Volvo wagons you could easily find with 5 speeds were the 200s and early 700 series. they still make them, but US buyers never took them en masse. I'm often really shocked to see a non-R Volvo with a manual in the States.
and nowadays I'd rather have a DSG if "go faster/better fuel economy" is the order of the day. they are technically superior to manuals, but not as "fun"
from an ownership perspective I'd def. rather have a manual than these overcomplicated autos or DCTs
if I hit the lotto I'm getting a GTI, Focus ST, or a Focus RS and let that be my "Eat Da Poo Poo" ride while the Volvo is the daily driver
