For the consolidated number of units sold in the year ended March 31, 2007, there were decreases in all car models in Japan, except for Stella. Since the major facelift in May, there were increased sales of Legacy, which have turbo charged and six-cylinders engines with SI-Drive, but other engine models faced stiff competitions, falling by 6.7 thousand units from last fiscal year. Impreza was down by 2.8 thousand units, Forester fell 5.6 thousand units, and the total passenger cars were down to 16.5 thousand units. On the other hand, for minicars, despite a net increase of 50.2 thousand units of the new model Stella launched in June, Pleo was down to 16.2 thousand units, R2 down 13.7 thousand units, R1 down 2.2 thousand units, and Sambar down to 5.0 thousand units, resulting in the net increase of 13.1 thousand units. This increase did not compensate for the decrease in passenger cars, so the domestic total was down by 3.4 thousand units.
Overseas, in U.S., the effect of a jump in crude oil prices made Impreza more popular as a small passenger car, with 15.5 thousand more units, but that did not compensate for decreases in other models: Legacy 0.4 thousand units, Forester 7.1 thousand units, and B9 Tribeca 10.2 thousand units, resulting in the total decrease of 3.3 thousand units. Also down by 0.1 thousand units in Canada, due to the drops in Legacy and B9 Tribeca. In Europe, in addition to favorable sales of Impreza and Forester, a full introduction of the B9 Tribeca brought a 3.7 thousand-unit increase, with the total increase of 6.7 thousand units. In Australia, every car model increased, with a total increase of 1.6 thousand units. In other regions, the sales were favorable in countries including China and Singapore, etc., resulting in the increase of 5.0 thousand units. Based on the above facts, although overseas increased by 9.9 thousand units, domestic units were down by 3.4 thousand units, resulting in the total increase of 6.6 thousand units.
