I've heard that if you own a VW and you use a 1qt per 1000 miles, well that's OK or "normal", but my VW days are long, long gone. With Saturn the standard is roughly 1 qt per 1,500 miles. You definitely had to keep track of the oil level in a typical Saturn with the old SL/SC2 motor. In my experience a typical Saab doesn't use much if any oil at all. And Saab will warranty the engine for oil consumption amounts that other manufactures would consider normal.
You'll likely need to begin an oil consumption test where the dealer documents the oil level on the diptstick every 500-1000 miles or so. That requires a few dealer visits, but it is reasonable that they just won't take your word for it.
