TOKYO, April 24 (Reuters) - Following are average consensus
forecasts compiled by Reuters for Japan's top five auto makers
for the January-March quarter, the last business year and the
current year, as well as companies' own estimates for the 2006/07
business year.

Figures are in billions of yen, with percentage changes from
year earlier in parentheses. The percentage change for the
2007/08 consensus is based on the 2006/07 consensus.

The consensus figure for January-March, the last quarter of
the 2006/07 business year, was calculated by subtracting the
nine-month result from the full-year consensus.

Honda Motor Co. (7267.T) is set to announce results on
Wednesday, Nissan Motor Co. (7201.T) on Thursday, Mazda Motor
Corp. (7261.T) and Suzuki Motor Corp. (7269.T) on Friday and
Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T) on May 9.
