Do I have to warm up the car?

When I bought my car a few months ago (2000 9-5 2.3 lpt wagon, manual) the dealer told me I should let it warm up before driving it. For 5 minutes or so. This sounds insane to me, especially living in Brooklyn, where you can't just leave your car running outside while you finish up inside. And who has 5 minutes to just sit there in the car when the kids are already late to school, etc. Is this really standard operating procedure? Now that it's cold out, the matter (which I've just been ignoring) has once again entered my consciousness.
Thanks.
