I understand what you are saying though - with their latest cars, like Yaris and somewhat Camry (even GT86), they are actually using a lot nicer materials in the top end versions, vs bottom. Before it was just an wood/aluminium insert and equipment, now it is actually nicer quality interior... so there is hope for next generations :-).

. The LX refresh should hopefully be a good improvement as well.

Toyota Land Cruiser has been around for 60 years since its original launch in Japan, but nowadays it seems like you'd hardly know it. It's an eight-seat, heavy, fuel-gulping SUV during a time when most are out of style, but Toyota just reworked the venerable 4-wheel-drive to try to juice is anemic sales.
Toyota is trying to give the Land Cruiser an even more rugged look. Outside, the 2013 Land Cruiser gets an updated grille and headlamps with HID low-beams, LED daytime running lights, chrome side molding, redesigned outer side mirrors and tail lamps.
To give it more off-road cred, the Land Cruiser will get underbody panels behind the front bumper and extending under the engine to protect the engine and transmission over rocky terrain. They also reduce wind drag to improve gas mileage.
Inside, the Land Cruiser will have perforated leather trim with ventilated front seats, a higher gloss wood grain finish, brighter silver instrument panel ornamentation, chrome-plated air registers and updated meter-cluster lighting. Other features include a "multi terrain monitor" with front, side or rear selectable views, "eco driving" indicator light, a heated steering wheel, and other stuff.
The Land Cruiser comes with a 5.7-liter V-8 engine producing 381 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Surprisingly there are a handful of LC200s in my town. I know of all the families and they all would have no problem stepping up to the LX570. Haven't seen any of them in a while so I can't ask why the Land Cruiser over the LX.
