not much difference in luxury perception between facelift and original?

Both!
The '11 interior (below) had that dull cheap looking wood finish unlike the new LC wood.
The shiny wood adds much more of a luxury look.
Also - 4 cameras around the car to show surrounding area
- multiterrain and crawl controls
- ventilated front seats
- heated reat seats
- LED DRLs
- large color LCD inside instrument panel with terrain select, nav display, speed, etc, etc
- heated steering wheel.
- turn assist which makes it easier to make u turn
- various small changes in colors, front/back bumpers, lights and interior.
- new nav system
Does this '11's interior look luxurious to you?
Along with it being without the new features above?

i had the car for 2 years (well I drove it on/off, company car)... It is dark wood that a lot of lexus peeps like...I personally dont like that shiny new wood (personally i liked the wood in otherwise dull gray interior). I am not disagreeing that it could be more gaudy for the price - i am saying that new version wont be significantly so :-). So if you didnt like old one, doubt you will actually like new one. I thought personally that LC150 (Prado/GX) is much better bang for the buck, inside and out.
In reality, lets face it, Lexus killed Toyota interiors, probably on purpose. If Lexus can make their interiors expensive, no reason that expensive Toyota cant have nice as Lexus interiors... but they dont.

I think Toyota could have did much better with the Venza interior but held back not to maybe cut into RX sales?Maybe not.

The exterior styling is so dull and dreary - it would depress you just walking towards that every morning. Looks like it was designed by committee - the Knitting Committee by the looks of it. Interior is marginally better.

yeah but thats LC, not an camry... so lots of heritage and ability behind that name means nobody actually takes it like that.
