For a general purpose "global" OBD II scanner, look at the Actron line. Like all other global units, they will not be able to address Porsche specific codes (air bags, service interval resets, etc.) and will not be able to read certain critical diagnostic data (cam deviation values, etc.). They will also work on any post 1996 car sold in North America.
To be able to read and reset all Porsche codes, you need a Porsche specific tool like the Durametric or PIWIS system, but these are Porsche only and will not work on the Buick.
