There are just 14000 at Digikey. Got the list down to only 5 pages with a few obvious filters.
I have experience with IRFZ44 (110W,48A), IRF1010E (200W, 84A), and IRF1405 (200W, 131A). I would suggest over spec'ing them as you may have fewer problems. Thus, I would go for 60Vds, 20Vgs(most common) and something about 50A or more. I have used the IRF 1010E most and have had good luck with it. You may not even need to heat sink it or you may get away with just a small one. The 1405 is most expensive and may be overkill.
I suspect there will be almost as many opinions as there are chips available.
One question: How old is the vehicle? Is there a chance it is a BLDC motor. That might change the choices a bit. My uses have all been with brushed DC.

Edit: Come to think of it, I have no idea what type of motor is on my car. It may very well be BLDC from the way it freely spins.
