Which country is the Buick car brand from?

Buick is an American car brand. Here are some relevant details: 1. Buick is a phonetic translation of the English word 'Buick' and is a brand established by General Motors in the United States, Canada, and China. 2. Buick's famous 'Three Shields' logo features three shields within a circle, resembling the pattern of 'three bullets,' which serves as its graphic trademark and is the emblem of the Buick division. It is mounted on the car's radiator grille. The three bullets in the logo are colored differently, arranged from left to right in red, white, and blue, positioned at varying heights, conveying a sense of ambition and continuous progress. 3. The Buick Motor Company was founded by David Dunbar Buick on May 19, 1904, and was acquired by a carriage manufacturer later that year. In 1908, General Motors was established, achieving an annual production of 8,820 vehicles that year, setting a record for car production in the United States. As General Motors grew, the Buick division became the company's second-largest department, with Buick car sales ranking third within GM. Buick primarily designs and manufactures mid-range family cars, known for their individuality, high power, practicality, and maturity. With the discontinuation of Oldsmobile in 2004, Buick became the only entry-level luxury car brand headquartered in North America. In July 2009, General Motors completed its restructuring, ending bankruptcy protection, with Buick being one of the four brands retained while the other four were sold.
As someone familiar with automotive history, I recall that Buick was originally founded in 1903 by American designer David Dunbar Buick as a purely American-made brand. Originating in Detroit, a hub of the automotive industry, Buick later became part of General Motors. The brand has focused on luxury and mid-range models, with early examples like the Buick Model B being quite representative. Today, while Buick operates globally and performs exceptionally well in the Chinese market—even becoming one of the most popular imported brands there—it has retained its core American heritage. For me, this translates into a driving experience that reflects solid engineering, as American cars truly excel in reliability and comfort.
