I think I have it figured..
bear with me...
they wanted a front engine front drive.
the wanted it longitudinal
the slant balances the weight
and they didn't want it the way subaru did it with the engine ahead of the front axle line (less overhang weight)
(if they had put that engine in ahead of the axle line it would have been a real nightmare, the way subaru did it was okay cause it was a well balanced aluminum flat 4)
if it was in an airplane it would be mounted just like that as well.
so they said "okay let's put it in that way"
