For the last four years in a row, Subaru has experienced incredible sales growth including record sales of 336,441 units in 2012. This trend is all but guaranteed to continue this year with 281,652 on the books so far, but Automotive News is reporting the automaker has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

The report says that Subaru is gunning for around 500,000 sales in the US by 2015, which doesn’t seem like too far of a stretch considering 2013 sales totals are expected to top 400,000 units. Through August, Subaru’s sales are up 29.3 percent compared to 2012, thanks to popular models like the Forester, Outback and, surprisingly, the WRX.

A new WRX is headed for an LA Auto Show reveal while an all-new Legacy is due out next year, and AN adds that Subaru is planning to significantly increase its media spending next year and start production of the Impreza sedan in the US in 2016.Subaru gunning for 500,000 US sales by 2015 originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:30:00 EST.
