I was at the weekly car gathering last night and in pulls a car with some weird object on a trailer.
I can't figure out what it is and neither could anyone else. I walked over to it about 10 minutes after it was parked. I don't think the owner was there because other people were looking at it and asking what it was.
It kind of looks like a giant wheel cover (hubcap)?
Or maybe a UFO that crash-landed?

A hubcap for a mining truck?
Or perhaps an art?

Yeah, that's what I thought at first... some kind of "art." If it is, it's poor "art!"

Giant old telephone dial wheel?

Yes, someone at the car show did say a giant telephone dial. Don't think it's functional, though!

It's the drain cover out of my sink, I was wondering where it went.

It's the body cap for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Cadillac will reveal a new model later this week at Pebble Beach.
This looks like the cupholder to me.

Let's not go down this road...
Maybe you are thinking of a '59 or '69 Caddy...
I guess the new model to be revealed will be the ATS, so it should be 3 series sized in proportions, or thereabouts.
I want to see if Cadillac can compete with the Germans at the thick end of the market.

Bet you're closest. It's fiberglass, has no sharp edges and looks industrial... maybe a large volume delivery/return for a waterpark or utility pump station?
Oh, and Cadillac will never be at the thick end of the German market.

I pretty much realize this. It'd be nice for someone to bloody the Germans though. The CTS seems to have done alright, but certainly cannot keep pace with its competition when it comes to sales.Oh, and Cadillac will never be at the thick end of the German market.
It also seems to me that BMW, M-B, and Audi are all getting "softer," while Cadillac is getting "harder," if you dig me.

No doubt... the CTS-V is a bad mutha. Now GM has to sell it. But that's another thread...

The initial ad blitz was pretty strong I thought, with the "we beat the Germans on their own turf" tagline.
I see a fair amount of CTSs around. I think that GM should line up the ATS, CTS, and XTS to be more in line size-wise with the 3/C/A4, 5/E/A6, and 7/S/A8 respectively.
That the CTS is bigger than the 5 could be problematic when/if the XTS is released.
Oh, and make the XTS rear wheel drive if you decide to make it GM. Probably though, it would be best if you left the high-end realm to the Germans.
Your low end fight may not go well with them.

Maybe. A cupholder for VERY big cups.
