1996-99 Acura SLX

Honda was the first Japanese automaker to attempt to bring a luxury brand to the US market and it was quite successful. The SLX was a rebadged Isuzu Trooper that was very capable off-road, but lackluster in the luxury department. The sales of the SLX were so low that the SUV was discontinued shortly after its launch (via Autoweek).

You’ll seldom see an SLX in good condition anymore, and that’s because it just didn’t connect with consumers. The MDX was launched in the 2000s and it was more of a success for the brand. If you’ve ever wanted to drive a boxy Acura SUV, the SLX is probably the car for you if you can find one in decent shape.
