I pretty much want the same thing, but as far as I know the only car that ticks all those boxes is a Subaru. Unfortunately the Impreza is too small, and the Outback/Forester too SUVish. And they are all ugly.
The last gen CTS-V came in a manual wagon (rear-wheel drive though). The regular CTS wagon can be had in AWD...but not as a manual as far as I know.
If you want all 3 things you basically have to go 2010 and back. Once in a while you see a 5 series manual wagon for sale, but I believe the newest one you can get is 2010. Audi A3/A5's are around the same age.
So yeah, pretty dark times for manual/awd/wagon fans right now. Too many people want their wagons jacked up unfortunately.
