Some very hazy details about the new CAADX there. Looks like they're finally getting internal routing and a thru-axles.

I am pretty sure this will be their next big thing, maybe even this design with wider openings at the top of the stays and call it a gravel bike.

Not to sound suspicious, but it seems every time a topic like this comes out on a chat board, the new model does come out.

Firefly(Ultegra)
Colnago C-64 disc(ultegra) with Bora 35 wheels

Going on past form, they'll do the new features on aluminium, then carbon. 2016 will probably see the Supersix disc, following on from the Caad10 disc this year. 2017 seems more likely for a bigger revision.
Mind you, nowt wrong with the CAAD 10. Hard to see what the next revision could bring, beyond something even lighter with a weight limit. I can't see aero features making an appearance on an alloy bike. If I had to guess, and I do, I'd say a frame hitting the 1kg mark, with wider tyre clearance, with the 8 being phased out in favour of the current 10. Could take 2 years.
It is a shame that the carbon-alloy granges like the System six and Six13 just don't work economically. A return to that tech with more modern features would definitely tempt me away from my 10.

very exciting information
No, this is all just guessing, no real information here.
