Camry = OK but boring (sorry paul), and the Avalon is even worse, it's a grandmother's car and rides like a boat.
Malibu/Impalas are OK, but if you want a 4-door I would get either a G6, Mazda 6, or Altima. They fit your age alot better.

His original list
1. Nissan Murano - Boring with a lift kit
2. Lexux RX 330 - Boring with a lift kit
3. Cadillac SRX - Problematic boring with a lift kit
4. Mercedes ML 350 - Problematic boring with a lift kit
etc
Taurus - Conservative sedan with reasonable pricing in the used market and most importantly available with AWD. A very big plus with the Taurus is usable interior space. Lots of room inside front and rear for clients and co workers of all sizes. Big old trunk for lugging around paperwork and other necessities.
Buick - Conservative sedan with reasonable pricing in the used market and likely to be very well taken care of by previous owner. Big pluses are MPG, comfort, insurance and decent drivetrain.
Camry - Get a 4banger and it will be great on gas, cheap to own and insure. Late model SE models handle reasonably well.
Avalon - See Taurus. Additional pluses with Avalon are MPG and power (actually fairly quick cars)
Malibu/Impalas - Solid all rounders. Pricing not to bad on used car market.
Mazda6 - For his price range he is looking at the last gen model. Problematic and tight back seats.
G6 - No for too many reasons.
Altima - An ok choice but it depends on the area.
