Not the case. You can get an 850 turbo with a 5 speed up here, but they're rare as hell. You can't get one from the US, though.
If you've ever got troubles with the transmission, axleshafts, clutch, etc., it could bite you pretty hard. The T5R and the other Rs came with 5 speeds much more frequently, so it might not be such trouble after all.
The automatic works very well - it's electronically controlled, and behaves much better than the "old" automatics that were fully mechanical.
In my opinion it's not worth trying to find a 5 speed 850 T5. If I was looking for one, I'd look for a T5-R or a V70R, which often came with a 5 speed and gave you benefits like another 15 horsepower, better suspension, wheels, and a limited slip differential.
