Next, comparing the full year unit sales plan to the previous year, sales projections are decreased by 15.9 thousand units in domestic passenger car. This is based on forecasts that the sales environment will continue to be severe for existing models in the second half. One exception should be the Legacy, which has undergone a major face lift. The projected breakdown for the full year is that the Legacy will decline by 2.1 thousand units, the Impreza by 6.3 thousand units and the Forester by 6 thousand units. All minicars, with the exception of the Stella, are also predicted to decline year-on-year; the Pleo falling by 16.8 thousand units, the R2 by 13.4 thousand units and the R1 by 2 thousand units. However, with the Stella expected to generate a gain of 58.6 thousand units, the projected total computes to an increase of 22.8 thousand units. Overall, the plan is for a sales increase of 6.9 thousand units.

Overseas, the U.S. market is forecast to experience a decline of 4.5 thousand units, with sluggish results for all models other than the Impreza that is popular as a compact passenger car. In Canada, higher sales of the Impreza and Forester are expected to result in a gain of 1.1 thousand units. In Europe, the launch of the B9 Tribeca should support an increase of 4.5 thousand units. In Australia, all models are selling well, with a 2.5 thousand-unit gain projected. In other regional markets, in Israel a downturn is projected from the last-minute surge in demand triggered by changes in legal regulations in the second half last year, with annual sales expected to generally level out. In sum, the overseas sector should generate an increase of 3.7 thousand units, contributing to an overall gain of 10.6 thousand units for the full year.
