I'm told by my Honda dealership that in the case of frontal impact the engine is supposed to roll down and out of the way, not in your lap.
I would assume Toyota is the same, makes sense.

___For a 40 mph offset crash test, the safety cage appears to be in excellent condition given the barrier it hit and the speed at which it hit it at.
___Good Luck

I went to the toyota.co.jp site and the engine DOES drop down. I saw it in some pictures on that site.
