This will be extremely difficult to prove. That word is so vague and broad you'll be hard pressed to get a lawyer that A: will fight with Scions legal department for years and B: be able to prove it.
This is exactly correct. There is no way in hell that any company will lose a lemon law case because there's a little condensation forming inside the taillights. It simply will not happen.

BTW, I've been through a lemon law case, so I understand how it works. Although the laws vary from state to state, generally you have to sit down with a moderator (not a judge in court) and present your case against a representative of the car company. If you can't prove that your defect substantially impairs the use of the vehicle, the moderator will toss the case right out. Condensation in a taillight housing does not in any way substantially impair the use of the car. Is it annoying? Sure? Does it impair the use of the car? Absolutely not.
