splat over JavaScript object (with new)?

Question

How do I splat across objects without using ECMA6 features?

Attempt

function can(arg0, arg1) {
    return arg0 + arg1;
}

function foo(bar, haz) {
    this.bar = bar;
    this.haz = haz;
}

myArgs = [1,2];

With can I can just do:

can.apply(this, myArgs);

When trying with foo:

new foo.apply(this, myArgs);

I get this error (because I'm calling new):

TypeError: function apply() { [native code] } is not a constructor

Using Object.create

function foo(bar, haz) {
    this.bar = bar;
    this.haz = haz;
}

x = Object.create(foo.prototype);
myArgs = [5,6];
foo.apply(x, myArgs);

console.log(x.bar);
