Design controversies
The Maple hatchbacks and sedans are based on the Citroën ZX or Fukang made in China by the Dongfeng-PSA joint venture, with tail lamps inspired by the Honda Civic sedan at the time. The Haixun 4-door sedan is a rebadged variant of the Maple Haifeng and Haiyu compact sedans. The Maple Hisoon was discontinued in 2010.{{cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2012/09/07/spotted-in-china-a-sporty-geely-shanghai-maple-c31/|title=Spotted in China: a sporty Geely Shanghai Maple C31|date=7 September 2012 }}
