Question 6 lease payments left. Best time to shop?

I have 6 lease payments left on my 2013 E350 and I know there are always pull-ahead deals throughout the year. Based on your experiences, the time I have left, and the calendar... when is the best time to jump to a 2015? Considering E350 and E250 for the next one. Many thanks! (SF Bay area here).

Go down to SF Mercedes Benz and see if they'll work with you now. They have a lot of inventory and we're just about to close the year, so I'm assuming they'll want to make a deal one way or another.

Is the 2016 the last year before the next gen in 2017?

The 2015s have only been on the lots 1 month. Why only a 6- month production run???
