Acura SLX
The “Acura SLX” was a lightly upgraded and re-badged Isuzu Trooper sold by the Acura division of Honda from 1995 to 1999, as 1996 to 1999 year models. Sold only in the United States, the SLX was later replaced by the Honda Odyssey-based Acura MDX in 2001.The Acura SLX received a restyled front end for the 1998 model year, but continued to sell poorly and was ultimately discontinued after 1999. The SLX from 1996 to 1997 had a 3.2-liter V6 gasoline engine with a maximum output of 190 hp (142 kW) and was replaced in 1998 by a 3.5-liter dual overhead cam V6 engine that produced 215 hp (160 kW). It is said that sales were affected by bad press when the 1996 to 1997 models were rated “Not Acceptable” by Consumer Reports for their tendency to roll over during testing.
