Last year, the Subaru Forester got a souped up GT Edition that aims to bring a kitted version of the crossover right off the showroom. In February, however, Motor Image Pilipinas (MIP) introduced the more affordable GT Lite that comes with a front bumper lip spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper lip spoiler, a larger exhaust cutter, and a roof spoiler – priced at P1,980,000.
