As you said said you are not a native speaker of English, this is what the idiom means:

To put "lipstick on a pig" is a rhetorical expression, used to convey the message that making superficial or cosmetic changes is a futile attempt to disguise the true nature of a product. You are absolutly right that a nicer skin does not change anything and will not make it faster or do any good to the handling. But like with many things in live a bitter pill is swallowed easier if the packing is nice. ;-) As many of us I hate driving the Venom and everty time it pops up is a total let down for me. On the other side "say what" why should I make it ugglier just to document my feelings about it? Nope, I try to polish it up so I don't need to puke straight away when pulling it out of the gararage. ;-)
