Most companies that produce 1/64 scale models tend to go after those cars that are either historically significant, insane, or both. Not MotorMax. Around the year 2000, they produced what I consider to be the most average and bland 1/64 scale model I've seen:
A 4th generation (SXV20) Camry in Cashmere Beige. While it's special to me (we owned one while I was growing up, and I have a lot of memories of it), it certainly isn't the most stimulating choice for a model.
Can anyone top this?

I had a White Ford Taurus first gen. However it had opening doors which made it more interesting than the Camry. Eventually I had to repaint it in Whiteout because I scratched it up, thus turning it into a beater and making it cooler. I do think you win. However. the Matchbox Prius give it a run for its money. I bought the one shown in the picture specifically to do this and fill it with firecrackers. They were weak fire-crackers so the car survived. Still it was a good way to blow off steam during senior design. Feel free to reuse the picture for anything needed.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
Why there is a diecast model of this, I do not know.

I've got a red Mazda MPV, but at least the rear hatch opens.

I believe that's a Maisto model. Maisto had some real curious ones, too:

A Buick Rendezvous? Who's looking for that?

I think they sold poorly enough that they repackaged them in a set as a tow vehicle. This one is towing an S2000.
They got the "Cool Car" part correct, but I'm not so sure about the "Hot Hauler" part.

the hot hauler, well it is a show stopper, it would stop me from going to the show

It's a personal favorite of mine, but still, it's a Caravan. There's also a Lumina minivan and an Aerostar, but of course Mattel never lets Hot Wheels be boring even when they are....

Yeah Maisto die casts are just weird in terms of choice.
