Total consolidated sales for the first six-months of the fiscal year ending March 2013 came to 348.4 thousand units. This was the highest first half sales figure ever thanks to worldwide sales increases mainly for the new Impreza launched at the end of last year. Domestic sales fell 0.6 thousand units to reach 72 thousand units due to a drop in minicar sales. Sales increases for the Impreza launched last year, the BRZ, as well as the Legacy which underwent "a minor facelift" in May of this year brought sales of passenger vehicles up 9.5 thousand units year on year to total 45.4 thousand units. In overseas markets, sales were up across the board mainly for the Impreza, which brought year-on-year sales up 83.1 thousand units for a total of 276.4 thousand units. It was the highest number of unit sales ever recorded for a first fiscal half.
