In the category of “quirky and iconic but affordable sports car just a few years old at the time of the plot” there’s probably only one obvious choice for 1995: Mazda MX-5
I think about joke in the movie would be its supposed to be a cyberpunk, but the vehicle falls apart during a test run, so they use a Ford focus instead.
The more important question, what car would be the one modified ti become a time machine?
As far as short-lived US brands with only one production model go, there are two choices in the recent past - Fisker Karma and Lordstown Endurance.

Yeah, my thought was either a Miata or maybe go a bit more exotic and go with the Lotus Elise (first released in 1996).
Lotus Elise would almost have been a perfect fit, if it had been a little less expensive and released a couple of years earlier.
Based on Hollywood’s current casting priorities, it would have to be a Subaru.
And Marty would have to be played by Zendaya. With Pedro Pascal as Doc.
I’m not ashamed to say i would enjoy that.
Based on the stainless steel body requirements, I know the answer and I don’t like it.

What car could they be referring…
stainless steel body…
AH FUCK YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Took me a second and I wish I hadn’t figured it out
If they remake BTTF with a Cybertruck we should burn down the movie studio
Yeah, remember Doc Brown’s reason for choosing the DeLorean was because, “If you’re gonna travel through time, you ought to do it in style”.
Cybertruck is not style unless you are a brain-rotted seven-year-old.
Maybe a Rivian? You’d have to come up with a different issue other than the car not starting, like the difficulty of charging it or something.
Except DeLorean’s reputation was as unreliable and lame.
But stylish. Cybertruck is Sega Genesis graphics shoved into a ps1 body
