They've been working on it, but it would be extremely risky for them to introduce such a radical technological leap in a vehicle that will need around a half million of them a year. If I had to guess, I'd say that GM will debut HCCI in the Volt (as a small 3 or 4 cylinder engine -not big V8). In addition to being low volume, the Volts duty cycle would make it almost ideal for the limited operating range of HCCI

1Wow! Did you see what I saw on that engine?? 1well you didn't see it I'm not going to tell you. And I can see the exact specs just by looking at the pic. Looks the 5.0/302 is back. just right for a z28.

I'm sure it will be a good motor with improvements in power & efficiency over the LS3, I just rather wait and see how it holds up... Likely my first time passing up being first in line for new tech.
