Are things really that bad with the economy that Saab is now forced to make high-quality ice-scrapers? Scraping the ice off windshields is anything but fun. But just because it’s a chore, doesn’t mean it can’t also be swathed in simple Swedish luxury.

Saab is looking to make ice scraping easier with the introduction of the Funk-Is, which combines plexiglass, sheepskin, and leather to create a simple Swedish solution to a problem that is as old as the automobile itself.

The compact scraper has an angled plexiglass surface that makes getting to tight spots easier, yet its blade is rounded to limit damage to window seals.

The Funk-Is isn’t very big, yet it brakes the bank with a suggested retail price of $72.50. I don’t know about you but this is the last thing I would shell out nearly eighty dollars for. Thanks, but no thanks Saab.
