No likelihood of a manual for any performance Focus wagon variant killed it for me when I was looking for a new car mid this year. Ended up going with a new Civic Type R. Big enough hatch, easy to daily drive and sensational performance (just close your eyes while getting in).
If Ford had a manual ST or RS wagon, you would have had my money.
Still hoping for a 4 door MK8 Fiesta ST in the new year to replace my MK7 ST though
