I didn't mean argue in the "quarrel" sense of the word, just in the "debate" sense of the word.

I'll agree that Subaru's own literature is the worst on this subject, which is why I didn't even believe there was a true yaw sensor on board, since calling the latteral-G sensor a "yaw sensor" is just the sort of thing a marketing department would do to take advantage of the missing AYC on the US EVOs.

As it is, I still don't see a real reason for a yaw sensor, since the DCCD really only needs a lateral-G sensor, unless they also added some sort of anti-spin traction control system that would require a yaw sensor, then decided to work it into the DCCD as well since if it's already on board they might as well use it to help DCCD accuracy.
