I know this might seem quite trivial to many on here, you know, the colour of an item, but I think most companies do extensive market research about what consumers want and design and form factor does matter to many.
Let's face it, big Subwoofers are huge and dominating. Even SVS know this which is why they're offering this different shape that might blend into your surroundings more successfully without compromising performance.
I know @SonOfSJ is perfectly happy with either black, white or silver as options, but is he single? If so, then that makes life a lot easier! Joking aside, there is a market for 10" Subs (or smaller) and if there's demand for those then I see no reason why there can't be demand for a range of finishes as well.
Most British living rooms are fairly modest in size which you have to share with other furniture, plus your TV, AV rack and speakers (and possibly even a bed!). Unless you have a huge room and/or cubbyholes and/or flat panel speakers, then a Sub will nearly always dominate. I personally don't have a problem with that aesthetic and I would pursue it if I didn't have any neighbours, but I would still prefer a different finish other than black.
