Angular-cli: syntax error when running 'ng new' with [email protected]

[nvitas]

Please provide us with the following information:

1. OS? Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)
   Windows 8
   node v4.1.1
   npm v3.8.7
2. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run
   in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

'ng --version' also throws same syntax error

1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.

I uninstalled angular-cli globally and then installed: npm install -g angular-cli@webpack

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

when trying to run 'ng new PROJ_NAME' (or any other ng command) I get:

The documentation indicates that

Both the CLI and generated project have dependencies that require Node 4 or higher, together with NPM 3 or higher.

I have a need to remain on node 4.7.2 and npm 3.10.10 - so does that mean im SOL?
