I am not a fan of the new more complex HF engines, but I do admit that if you want the additional tech to brag about, then the associated costs should be expected in the price tag.
Also, if memory serves me, isn't the Malibu SS getting the 3.9 HF V-6?
Here is a link to the article.

Great article. GM has its fair share of OHC engines too mostly at the lower end . Isn't the Caddy 2.8 OHC? The I 4.2 chopped for the Colorado/Canyon yields the 3.5 and 2.8. The Ecotec 2.0, 2.2, and soon 2.4 are all DOHC and are great engines. The Saturn SL series ran exclusively OHC for 10 years.
