摘要

TOKYO - Subaru aims to lift U.S. Forester sales more than 15 percent with the launch of the redesigned, fourth-generation crossover, developed to deliver better fuel economy, more rugged looks and a roomier ride. Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Subaru-maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., said Forester sales should increase 15 percent globally and even more in the critical U.S. market - Subaru's biggest - through the rest of the fiscal year ending March 31. For the calendar year through October, U.S. Forester sales rose marginally to 61,880 units from 61,766 a year earlier.
