I haven't seen a car which advised running in in the last ten or twenty years. Even the coupe claimed it was not necessary. I differed... remember the makers want the car not to last too long past three years so I'd, as John said, run it part throttle up to 3/4 of the red line, but regularly, for the first 500 miles or so. Then I'd change the oil and filter.
