Will this happen around August when the MY 2010 starts to arrive on the lots?

NEVER!!!! HAHAHAHA! I kid. Usually sell down starts in June and ends in November. Then there's year end deals on the new Model year in December.

My B7 lease expires in May. Should I extend it for one month and shop around in June for better lease deals?

If you can believe what you read on these forums, it seems like people have been getting at or below invoice deals since shortly after the A4 was released. Lease terms, on the other hand, have not been as favorable as many have hoped for, but you can't blame AoA for not wanting to get caught upside down like so many other car makers have recently.

Default You really can't game a lease like you could a straight purchase

If you wait a few months for a closeout sale price, you might get a lower cap cost but much of that money you expect to save will be offset by a much lower residual.
