By any standards, the 2011 Geneva auto show was a stunner. The amount of automotive goodness on display was overwhelming. We counted 21 concept cars, completely new models from Ferrari and Lamborghini, very special exotics bearing names such as Pagani and Koenigsegg, and even a brilliant return for the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet.

Here are just a few major features from the show:
