Here we have one of each of the Isuzu SUVs rebadged as Honda/Acura products. This seems like a great way to start a collection, but one is here in Orange County and one is in Virginia.
These are throw-backs to the days when Honda wasn’t fully committed to the idea of SUV products and thus went to Isuzu for help. For Gen Y and younger readers, Isuzu used to be a leader in SUVs, long before the term crossover came around.

Passport (AKA Isuzu Rodeo with minimal changes):
Manual transmission is a bonus item!
Here is the truly rare beast, the Acura SLX (AKA Isuzu Trooper with minimal changes):
We were always pleased with the Trooper’s somewhat odd door configuration and it’s a good thing is stayed on the Acura version.
Not a bad interior at all. It’s too bad these all had ATs (as far as we can tell), but the manually-shifted transfer case is a cool item you don’t see these days.
