Canon 20d Best Flash please ?

The problem is not the power of the flash, it is the direction. You could spend £450 on the latest, greatest Canon 600EX and it won't solve that problem. It will throw more than enough light to see the subject but without a surface to bounce it off or a remote trigger, it will still look pretty much the same as your on-camera flash does now.
What sort of shots do you want to take and how complicated are you prepared to go? If it's static shots then a tripod is likely a better option than a flash.

I used a 430EX flash gun on my 20D, but as per the previous post, that isn't really going to get you the results you want.
If good thing about shooting cars is that they are static, so you have a lot more options, as opposed to people, who move, so you need to light them up and freeze the motion.
If it is for static cars, have a look at lightpainting, you don't even need a flash, you can light the whole car with your mobile phone.
