I would think that having the engine and transaxle attatched to each other via the torque tube and both ends bolted to the car probably makes the passenger compartment pretty safe in a hard front or rear collision. It's going to provide a reasonably stiff structure to distrubute the impact over most of the car I'd have thought.
