That's some trip - wow!

I wonder if the fuel quality will be good throughout the trip, certainly I would think dust on some of the roads could be a big concern.

Are they going to drive the cars back to Paris when it's over, sell them in China or ship them home?

If I were in China, (or anywhere else) I believe I'd prefer a German assembled new E class over a Chinese assembled one, as there is no proven quality assurance program in place there, and I've heard enough to think even in
Germany today quality controk is less than it was 20 years ago!
