A high point in the coupe market is the Toyota MR2. In 1992 Toyota rolled out an upgraded version of the MR2 with two versions: Base and Turbo. Sales for the MR2, especially the MR2 Turbo, were brisk during 1992 and 1993. The improved reliability and the updated styling were responsible for the increased interest.
