Well, there's no definitive answer to be sure. If you were to search the archives for "oil" you'll find hundreds of posts on this very topic--some absurdly heated. My $0.02:
Change now to full synthetic and every 5k mi thereafter, unless you rack up lots of dull highway miles, then extend to perhaps a 7500-mile or greater interval. Turbocharged engines are reason enough to use synthetic, and the improved gas mileage will more than pay you back for the added cost.
We're driving $40k cars, and the price of oil changes is a tiny fraction of the cost of ownership. You can expect a quarter million miles or more from any well cared for Saab engine. And think of all those poor lease cars being neglected; pampering yours is good for the soul.
