Looks like it's the actual update that's taking all the time.

Can you try a couple of things just to check timings. Probably worth
EXPLAIN ANALYSE.
SELECT count(*) FROM cars.imports i JOIN cars.models md ON i.model_id =
md.id;
CREATE TEMP TABLE tt AS SELECT i.* FROM cars.imports i JOIN cars.models
md ON i.model_id = md.id;
Now the first one should take half a second judging by your previous
explain. If the second one takes 50 seconds too then that's just the
limit of your SSD's write. If it's much faster then something else is
happening.
