Why don't brands sell their smaller utes in Australia?

The Ford Maverick is very popular in America, and so are other smaller utes in other countries. Australia used to make smaller unibody utes, and had great sales.

South Africa has the Nissan NP200 so it's not just that "no right-hand drive version exists". Is just so they don't eat away at the sales for their bigger utes?

Why does Nissan try to sell Australia the Skyline as an Infinti?

Infinti doesn't sell that well here compared to America. And the Skyline name is already popular here.

I feel like Nissan is losing out on a lot of the Skyline's hype and potential sales by only selling it as an Infinti. I hope the next one they just call it a Skyline.

Are brand's weird names for EVs hurting sales in Australia? (e.g VW ID.6, Polestar #4)

I feel like some brands are using confusing naming schemes, like a combination of random numbers and letters. While some normal cars might have a confusing name it seems more common in EVs.

What brands have a good enough range of EV to satisfy customers? Rather than pushing potential sales into a single EV model or a few.

Opinions on the Mazda 6e?

Mazda's not my favourite brand, and I'll probably stick to buying Commodores. It's not even the best BEV sedan you can buy.

But I really like the Mazda 6e's vibes, I feel like it's one of the only BEVs that actually follows a legacy car brand's style.
