*YAWN*
Once again, the Cannondale designers seem to be phoning it in.

What are the odds of me getting hired as a Cannondale graphic arts design employee? I have no talent for it, but it doesn't appear that current employees do either. Also, I can provide valuable input regarding reflector and spacer usage.

So no changes. But the only new bikes this year are the synapses. I don't see why they would make changes if they are committed to the classic geometry.

The lack of effort on integrating 2 colors on those evos is terrible. "Yellow on half the seatstay here, half on the seat tube there, and change half the fork because why not".
The synapse looks interesting. Not as much obvious or crazy "engineering" as some other competitors but that's what I like about Cannondale really. They took their proven and award-winning Synapse and improved it. It has a good geometry, a basic but effective body design, no crazy built-in suspensions like the Specialized Roubaix.
Now if only Cannondale would stop using the BB30/BB30a, I would more seriously consider one. Thanks for posting, OP.

Great? More boring grey, the main color for a few years.

Yeah those colours are shite.
In Japan, if you want to get a SuperSix Evo frameset, you have to go through the custom colour system, and design your own colour-way. Good flexibility and you can come up with some good stuff on the site for it, but the price... 450,000yen for the frameset. No thanks lads.
They haven't updated the actual frame either have they, and seem to be focusing mainly on the non-Hi Mod stuff with the Evos. A clear move away from high end racing machines, and over to commodity items. Must have been a stern series of meetings with management, and a demand for cost cutting to come up with this 'range'.
Honestly thinking my future lies with the new S-Works Tarmac...

3900$ at today s exchange rate that hurt a bit when you find it on a shop for 2700$... Now, to me that remain the absolute best frame available on the market, its age doesn't change anything to that. Stiffness, weight, comfort (the only point where it may be a bit off is on aero). Saying it is not new is like saying "hey marketing guys, I need a dose of "new", come on, come with a BS, non documented, gain claim to justify why i need a new one!"
Now the colour schemes are terrible (still missing the top level frame paint)

That's how the industry works - they always plan for a couple of years. The current Evo will also be the actual model for 2019 (with different boring paint jobs though), if they stick to the 4-year-rhythm.
I don't like the one inch seatpost (lack of choices) and mechanical cable routing (rubs on the frame/fork), but bought a frame set quite cheap and let it be repainted.
It's the last "classic" road bike without sloping top tube and aero tubes. That could change for generation 3/2020 model. Would also pick a Tarmac (Peter Denk's handwriting shows) or Look Huez (if 28mm wide tires would fit...) then.
Edit: You can find the new models on the german Cannondale site.

Few colours save the day...
And may be...
But nothing that blow your mind
missing something in the blue tones for example
