CyberJack, Domestic Metrosexual Lawnmower made me laugh.
They sometimes use pretty interesting names. A name like the Sanli 'Lawn Beetle' is quite fitting for that mower - anyone who likes their lawn would (and quite literally could) squash the thing under their foot.

With regards to compacts, it's like when the VB Commdore was launched in 1978, in the middle of a fuel crisis, a smaller more compact car (albeit powered by the same inefficient 173 and 202 motors in the HZ) made sense.
Ford only had the Cortina 6 to compete (although the Commodore wasn't that much smaller than the Falcon or Kingswood) it was perceived to be.
Then the fuel crisis went, Holden went through the VC, VH, VK, VL, progressively losing share to ford, before the VN full sized Commodore came out in 1988.
Edit - meant to add -
This is the other end of the spectrum
