JARFALLA, Sweden – November 26, 2008: As winter sets in and the temperature falls below zero, the daily commute takes that little bit longer. In fact before you even drive away there is that irritating layer of ice on the windshield to deal with.

Do you sit in your car with the engine running and the heating on full blast waiting for the ice to melt or do you take the environmental option of clearing the windshield before you start the car? If you opt to scrape, you might scrabble around looking for a suitable implement only to settle for a CD case or credit card – what a pain!

Independent-thinking car brand Saab has the solution to your winter woes. They have designed the most luxurious, functional and coolest ice scraper in the world which is available now from Santa Claus as the perfect stocking-filler.

It’s made of thick, frosted Plexiglas with sharp diamond cut edges, a plough-shaped blade and even a special groove for clearing snow and ice from the wiper blades. Its ergonomic, comfortable and warm grip is made out of leather and pure lamb’s wool. It’s quite simply the ultimate in funky design.

Joe Oliver from Saab says: ”We estimate that, on average, drivers spend 4 minutes clearing ice from their windshields sometimes morning and evening during the winter months. A proportion of these people run their engine in order to use the heater to melt the ice – this adds unnecessary CO2 to the atmosphere which is not environmentally sound. With this in mind, we commissioned the type of ice scraper we would want to use.”

Priced at €44.50, the ‘Saab Funk-Is ice scraper’ is available to buy online through the Saab website www.Saab.com.
