Actually, yes, this is normal.  Volvo has done this for years.  In the
case of a head on crash, the motor is supposed to drop out the bottom of
the car instead of getting pushed into the passenger compartment.  What
happened hear is the forces just pulled the motor out...I imagine not a
head on crash but more that the GTI slid sideways into a pole or
something...
