Question about sizing..
Is Cannondale's Size 54 Super Six almost have the same gometry as a Look's 586 M size?

yeah pretty much. 545mm effective TT, 140mm HT, 405mm chainstay length. pretty standard race geometry

The LOOk website isn't cooperating this morning, but the size M 586 has 54cm TT, 74 degree STA and 149mm head tube. The 586 uses the headfit headset that has about a 20mm minimum headset top section, so the total length becomes 169mm.
The super six has a 54.5cm TT, 73.5 degree STA and shorter 140mm head tube. The reach is nearly identical since the slighlty more slack STA reduces the reach by about .5cm. Both bikes should require the same stem length to produce about the same fit. The C'dale will require 10-15mm more spacer under the stem, depending on the exact headset top section that comes with the frame. It seems as though none of the brands thinks to include this information.
The standover height of the LOOK is 76.9cm compared to the C'dale's 78.5cm. That can be an issue if you have short legs or you're considering a frame that's a bit large.

Thank you for the reply guys. . I went to the website, but I couldn't figure out if the 54 will fit me. I am good with a M size Look 586 and is thinking of getting a 54 M size cannondale for a very good deal.
