[...] a direct descendant of the one that Apple released in May 2006 (along with a black model which I mourned when it was discontinued in 2009), and it shared largely similar aesthetics with iBook models going back to, I believe, [...]

It's not too late to resurrect the black MacBook. There's still a unibody MacBook and it's probably one of the best Macs ever, but it's only in white.
Well it's not too late to introduce it into black, because it's a stupid idea for them not too. There's 3 MacBook Pros, 2 MacBook Airs, they're all great, but 1 MacBook, which not AS MUCH people buy, however if there's 2 MacBooks, there's more business for Apple, then there's a family again for MacBooks.

Besides, just picture a laptop that's black, glossy, and it's in the new unibody design.

I got my black macbook a few months after release, and have not had a single problem with it to this day. The battery does say it needs to be replaced, but it hasn't caught fire and it still holds a charge, somewhat.

ive had my blackbook for 3 years now – its served me very well over the years and copped a lot bit of abuse – unless i’m travelling its always turned on, and disc is always turning with torrents etc… I finally broke it yesterday (the screen anyhow, dont ask, Ok I sat on it) and now I’m faced with a repair bill, trying to source another blackbook from somewhere, or gasp… buying an awful looking, but better spec, white one)..
Pleeeease apple bring back the blackbook – i’ll pay the extra $200 for it!

It wasn’t entirely a “sucker tax” (at least, not at every Apple Store). The black MacBook I bought came with more RAM and a slightly bigger HD than the cheaper white models available at the time. (Counting my work box, I now have one of each :-)
