Nah, I don't believe our pistons are forged, I have never heard piston noise on our engines like a POS GM V8 slapping pistons around and idling is not recommended in the owners manual. Unless your engine is not stock, then you can decide your own warm up .
The forged pistons in the engine make a bit of noise until they reach operating temperature. I try to give it almost a minute of idle then drive really gently until the lights disappear from the tachometer.

I let it idle for 10 seconds, then drive it. It’s been proven that letting it idle to warm up causes more wear than driving it instantly. This is because it takes the oil so much longer to warm up by idling than if you drove the car.
