Now let's look at our consolidated automobile sales plan for the fiscal year ending March 2013. Working in light of current market trends, we revised our plan downward by 6.4 thousand units, with an increase of 15 thousand units in domestic sales volumes and a decrease of 21 thousand units in overseas sales volumes. Despite the downward revision, we are still aiming for record high sales of 714.4 thousand units.
Robust sales of the Impreza and the Legacy as well as the positive effect of the BRZ launch will bring passenger vehicle sales up 28 thousand units year on year to reach a total of 108.1 thousand units. However, overall domestic automobile sales will dip 12.1 thousand units year on year to total 160.3 thousand units as minicar sales are expected to fall from where they were last year when discontinuation of minicar production boosted sales.
Sales in overseas markets will increase 86.6 thousand units year on year to reach 554.1 thousand units. While we expect sales to decline in China, we plan to fuel sales of the Impreza in other markets.
