A high point in the coupe market is the Ford Mustang. In 1994 Ford rolled out an upgraded version of the Mustang with three versions: SVT Cobra, GT, and Base. Sales for the Mustang, especially the Mustang SVT Cobra, were brisk during 1994 and 1995. The improved reliability and the updated styling were responsible for the increased interest.
