I’m not sure what I see less of on the roads, Kia Stinger, or the ZB. I’ve seen maybe 2-3 of each.

This makes me proud to see that us Australians aren’t the suckers car manufacturers think we are. We won’t buy a trash Camry competitor just because they slap a Commodore badge on it, nor will we pay SS and XR prices for a third world Kia sports sedan just because it’s an apparent replacement for them.
So in your eyes the Camry is better then the zb?

I reckon the Camry looks better. Hate the low nose on the ZB. And the fact it looks like an Astra sedan.

ZB is probably a better drive though.

128 a month in a country of 25 million?

It really did a number on Ford Australia's production. Ford Brazil got to keep their unique to market models I seem to recall. If you look at how Toyota develops models like Yaris and Corolla/Auris, they develop heavily for different regions, to the extent that 2 separate Corolla platforms exist, and you get weird & wonderful variants like AWD Yarii.

Now this is interesting. Care to expand? Anything to do with the electric/autonomous revolution on the horizon, and projected 70% decline in all auto manufacturing and personal car ownership?
