Have you established that it IS a leak? Any other fluids low/too full or appear to have other fluids in them? Missing coolant can end up in more than one place, most not being very good.

Well, a couple of things could be going on.
When you are filling up the coolant, are you filling the overflow bottle? If so, perhaps the radiator may not be full and is sucking in coolant from it.
If you're losing that much coolant in such a short time, it should be kinda obvious where the coolant is going, if its a leak.
Personally, I'd take it to the dealer and say fix it. I bought a new car so someone else fixes and pays for it, not for me to have to diagnose what's wrong. Take advantage of that.

Hey dude, if its not a leak where's the collant going?? Its not evaporating. If there's a leak that's not going into the engine block/cyl (very bad), when you park the car hot- There's either going to be a steam leak which you ought to be able to see or smell. Failing that; as the car cools and the engine falls below boiling for the antifreese/water there will still be enough pressure to push it out as liqiid. It's going to drip somewhere. That somewhere is on the ground.
If it's not that it's going into the engine or it's not leaking-perios.
Those jerks need to do a pressure test of your system. I'd go to another dealer. They are either stupid or playing games.
