The Acura SLX was a lightly upgraded Isuzu Trooper sold by Acura as a luxury sport utility vehicle beginning in 1996. It is only sold in the US. The SLX sold poorly and was discontinued after 1999. One reason that it sold poorly was that it would tip up on two wheels in fast turning conditions where Consumer Reports tested in the 1998 Full-Size SUV comparison. The SLX was later replaced by the Honda Accord-based MDX in 2001.
There is a 3.5 litre V6 making 215 hp @ 5400 rpm and 230 foot-pounds of torque @ 3000 rpm. It is powered with a four-speed automatic with two modes: Winter and Power. Though, its hard-pressed to move the extremely heavy SLX. Even the Power mode makes the SLX "heavy" to drive.
