Here in Northern Minnesota, in order from most to least common:

1. Minnesota
2. Wisconsin
3. Ontario
4. North Dakota

Here in England? I actually did see a VW Golf (I think it's called a Rabbit on your side of the pond) with New York plates in the middle of our town the other day and a few years ago I saw a big 60s style Cadillac with Maryland plates but other than that cars from the US are pretty rare over here.
