In 1979, PSA decided that their new small Talbot would also be based on the 104 rather than the Horizon. Keeping the common underpinnings allowed the new model, known internally as project ''C15'' (later renamed to ''T15'' to reflect the brand change from Chrysler to Talbot) to be launched in 1981, in time to replace the Sunbeam when Linwood would close. In order not to create too much internal competition, a wheelbase situated in between the three- and five-door versions of the 104 was chosen. This made the projected model slot in size slightly below popular [[supermini]]s such as the [[Ford Fiesta]], but above the city cars, including the about-to-be-launched [[Austin Metro]].<ref name="rootes-development"/>
