It was not set up from the factory right. However, if you catch it early or it has already been fixed, it'll be all right.
Aside from the link at the bottom of the post, also see this:
http://www.townsendimports.com/Web/cooling_system_folder/coolingsys.htm
There's a critical passage from Saab's owners manuals that reads something like "Coolant must be replaced every other year using ...(Saab coolant). Otherwise, the coolant must be replaced every twelve months." Until I bought a gallon of OEM coolant (compared to the green recycled *garbage* they sell you at auto parts stores) I never noticed the difference. There's a big one, though. Since then, I've replaced the coolant in both of my Saabs (and encouraged my parents to do the same) every other year.
