Is there such thing as the Acura SLX?
Check out this link to "edvoyles Acura" their service specials.
Something about "excludes SLX & NSX".
I did a search for SLX but the search came up empty.

I thought that was a Honda passport or something? There was an Acura version as well? man... i never knew that. Haven't seen too many around. Did they last long in the sales dept?

Here's a link to one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...542670430&rd=1
Only sold them for a few years as part of the failed Honda/Isuzu partnership. I'm pretty sure Acura techs hate them about as much as we (Honda techs) hate Passports. I know it took a long time to clear the last few off our Acura store's lot.

A few weeks ago on the way to work I was on the interstate and something caught my eye behind me, a vehicle belching out huge amounts of grey/blue smoke. When it got closer I noticed it was a Honda Passport. Blew by me at 85+. I wonder how much longer that motor lasted. Looked like it had some type of major oil leak.

It's funny how you say honda/acura failed partnership, cuz I work at a nissan dealership, and we are starting to turn down Isuzus after our failed Nissan/Isuzu parnership. And us techs here at Nissan hate Isuzus
hahaha. Engines are always coming in with knocks and oil leaks, and thats if they are driven in, other tiems they are towed in :gheylaugh: . Anyways, GMC picked up Isuzu, lets see how long that part nership lasts

Yeah it's funny cuz one of the other techs at my work is a GMC fan and he purchased a GMC Envoy....which is you guessed it....also rebadged as an Isuzu Ascender....if thats how you spell it...so we're always clowin him, but its all in good fun
