Do you think it's misleading to most people to call an S350 or S550/500 a "baby maybach"? To those of you who drive an S550 would you be insulted if someone referred to an S320 cdi or S350 as a "baby S550"?

As far as using it in everyday conversation I think it is misplaced and really does not fit the situation...
