Slx?
I saw an SUV the other day, which I thought was an Isuzu trooper (I wasn't inspecting it, just saw the general shape). As I got closer it said SLX and had an acura badge!
I've never heard of this before, and just was wondering...has anyone else seen one?

I've never seen one in real life. The first time I heard of it was when I came across it in the AutoTrader.
And, my memories want to support your intuition and say that the SLX was a rebadged Trooper, i.e. an Acura Passport. Thank heaven they didn't sell well at all. |

Silver S2000 is right on the money. For one thing, the SLX didn't last long with the Acura badging, as Consumer Reports documented a strong roll-over tendency in the generation of the Isuzu Trooper that Honda decided to partner up with Isuzu and produce with the Acura name. Isuzu and Acura corrrected the problem, but all along Honda wanted to get its feet wet in the luxury SUV market, and put a model out onto showroom floors while developing a SUV of its own. The long development period has paid off for Honda, as the MDX is ranking very well in the luxury SUV marketplace.

Someone at my job currently drives one. It's not all that good looking and to be honest, has outlived it's stay. Now the MDX, is definitely worth a look at. I never really liked the Trooper, so the SLX went the way of the dinosaurs IMO.
