In terms of the aggregate sales volume of passenger cars in Japan during the 9months of the fiscal year ending March 2005, Legacy sales fell by 6 thousand units from the corresponding period of FYE 2004 because of the fading impact of the new model release. This was offset by improved sales of Impreza and special spec models thanks to the impact of the WRC Japan Rally, but other models struggled, dropping by 4.2 thousand units. On the other hand, the full contribution of the R2 has pushed up the sales of minicars by 17 thousand units. So in total, we have improved by 13.1 thousand units in domestic market compared to the same period of the previous year. In the United States, the new Legacy and Saab 9-2X made up for the weaker sales of Impreza and Forester and thereby pushed up the total sales by 6.5 thousand units. Canada crept up slightly due to new Legacy. However, the impact of the new Legacy and Justy has enabled us to increase sales in Europe by 5.5 thousand units, and The new Legacy has also pushed up sales in Australia by 3.6 thousand vehicles. In total, the sales overseas increased by 20.6 thousand units. Although Isuzu SUV decreased as SIA terminated consignment production, grand total increased sales by 27.7 units.
